carb heat cable and airbox inlet seal - perfect condition

Post by A2022 »

over 1100 hrs and original carb heat cable, lever bug attachment and airbox inlet seal are in perfect condition. when I pull the carb heat ON, I get 40 RPM drop during runup.

applied AT-205 (once a year) to the black rubber airbox inlet seal and also the baffle seals, all original. they just keep going. I change the air filter each 500 hrs.

1300 hours, all original except the brace was upsized from 3/8 alum to 1/2 SS. bug nut is tight, no play that I could detect. I am happy with it.
