Hey Guys,

The stainless steel scrubs may break up over time and go through your engine.

I've noticed wuite a few builders who have not
installed any kind of carb heat setup on thier birds.
Do these birds not have problems with that or are you
running fuel injection and I'm not seeing it?
I assume that carb ice is not a problem on injected
birds since there is no venturi?
Bad assumption. It can ice in all sorts of places, not just in the venturi.

I'd be careful, more than one engine has swallowed bits of spring, when some
one tried this trick. You can read about the problems in Tony B's writings.
