Pre-takeoff checklist
I have a 46 J3 with a C-85-12 engine with a Stromberg Carb.
During the annual my AI noticed that my carb does not have a mixture control lever.
Not only does it not have a mixture control lever but all the parts normally inside the mixture chamber are missing and a smooth convex cover caps the chamber.
Using the NA-S series parts illustration all the parts #47 through #61 are missing.
I know that if all these parts are present, the mixture control lever would normally be safetied to the full rich position in this installation.
Is my carb legal in this configuration i.e. missing all these parts?
Will I have to replace all the mixture chamber parts and safety the mixture lever to the full rich position to be legal?
Comments please.
