SlingPilot Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Neither does CPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okent Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Looks like CPS is on it. I read the SB and it looks like it has to be done within the next 25 hours or July 2020, whichever comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Luckily my engine is not affected. This looks like an annoying SB to comply with, since you have to pull the carbs off and disassemble them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to pull the top off the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlingPilot Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 It’s mandatory, but I don’t believe it’s super critical. I’ll wait for parts and have the shop do a few before I bring mine in. I don’t want to be the experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since I pulled my carbs apart, I can't remember if that screw has to come out to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop the top off the carb and remove the piston, change it out, then reinstall. You will have to do something with the throttle and choke cables. I think I would pull the throttle arm and disconnect the choke cable to lift the top off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
