NTSB investigation determined that the plane was being operated with fuel in the left tank and no fuel in the right tank. The modified fuel selector spindle allowed air from the right tank to bypass the internal o ring and enter the fuel stream causing a lean condtion. Futher information can be found on the NTSB web site.
