Narrative:

A normal takeoff was executed. During the take off climb at approximately 150-200 feet AGL the engine stopped running. I lowered the nose and was able to safely land the aircraft straight ahead on the remaining runway. Upon landing there was enough momentum to taxi clear of the active runway and stop on an intersection. No emergency had been declared and the aircraft did not endanger other aircraft or persons. Fuel contamination with water was suspected. All fuel sumps were drained and some water appeared from the gascolator drain. After a short while the aircraft engine was re-started and completed a normal taxi back to the hangar. Upon preflight on the day prior to this flight and the day of this flight no significant amount of water had been found in any of the fuel sumps. It is my feeling that the water stopped the engine from running was trapped in the wing tanks and did not enter the fuel pick ups until the aircraft was in the climb attitude on takeoff.

Title: The pilot of a Cessna 150 experienced an engine stopped on climbout and was able to land on the remaining runway. He reported likely fuel contamination that was not detectable during normal fuel sump draining.
