Narrative:

Lost engine RPM momentarily, then it came back. Approximately 10 seconds later, lost all RPM. Never returned. Within gliding distance of gyr (phoenix-goodyear) airport, declared emergency via 120.1 CTAF. No 7700 squawk. Landed with no additional problems, rest uneventful. Possible blockage of fuel line suspected. I feel my training and practice helped greatly through this emergency without an accident. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter indicated in callback that fuel lines were found clogged but he found no sediment in the fuel during preflight. The aircraft flies often out of an FBO. No problem was found with the fuel supply where it was fueled.
