Gear up landings and prop position

[marks]

No, there was no fuel pressure indication before I started the engine and when taxiing there was virtually no indication either.  That was normal.  However, during my climb in solid fog I was busy flying the airplane and never really looked to see if I was showing fuel pressure.  After about four minutes in the air I could smell smoke and less than a half minute later the engine stopped.  My experience was that I thought I had partial power for the best part of a minute, but I know now the engine was dead.  Everything sounded the same for a bit and the prop adjusts to keep the same RPM, so it takes a moment to discover that you're gliding.  Of course after the work was done I did some fast taxi and the mags seemed to work just fine, so it was a real surprise when the engine died.  I had already been cleared for the approach into MVY as it was only 20 miles away.  ATC told me to "maintain 1,500" even though I had filed for 2,000 ft.
