It would appear, for whatever reason, I am suddenly missing a lot of e-mails. I never got the one from Linda attached to this one from Dave.
Anyhow, I was being a little facetious. It is not uncommon for some mechanics to read a bulletin and then try to apply it to planes to which it does not apply. This case, where the bulletin makes no mention of the fact that a Stromberg does not have an idle cutoff, I'm sure there will be a lot of mechanics telling owners their carbs need to come off for service, and maybe even some being told they have to be replaced... There have been forced landings caused by applying a Cessna fuel system bulletin to the 120 and 140 despite the fact that the 120 and 140 are not included in the applicability list, to name another...

I don't have mixture control right now, but I'm having a carb rebuilt with mixture.
