Hello : I have a 415C with the O-200A and stock Coupe airbox,
I Live and Fly in Florida where the humidity is always 99%
The Stock automatic carb ice linkage was removed sometime long before me
SO I taxi out, runup ,take off ,and come down with lack of power,OUCH no damage but it has happened 4 times in 1 day last week ,I discovered carb Ice and have been using carb heat since for takeoff ,with no problems :)
So is this stock airbox the culprit,Its shaped like a venturi ??
Chris...
Something else is going on with your carb, I would venture. The kind of
icing you describe should not happen at Florida heat and at takeoff
power.
