Pietenpol-List: Carb heat return spring

Something that I need to do and others might consider is putting a return spring on your carb heatdamper lever. I've seen this on several planes andwhat it insures you of is that in the event your carb control cable breaks or comes loose somehow thespring will move your damper to the 'hot' positionthus keeping the engine going. This has been onmy 'to do' list for too long. (65 Cont. air box)Mike C. ________________________________________________________________________________
