Hello:
Would like to know, how to improve or what is necessary to do, so that
the Carb Heat in my rv6a, will work?
It does not show any drop on RPM, nor even after flying for 30 minutes...
I know when landing, is very hot inside.
I have not cover the gaps, that exist, on each side of the Hose tube's
base,
that is the small, square base, that one rivet to the top of the Air box..
this small
base is not sealed all around. Is hard to explain, but is the unit that
comes from
Van's.
I want to see at least 30 rpms drop... when applied heat.... Same as in my
old
Cherokee 140, same engine I have now 0320 150HP
Thanks,
Bert

Hi Bert:
Try installing a new carbheat muff. I have one that I got from Wicks, part
number EC100-020, installed on my 6A. I am close to my first test flights,
but those who have installed this muff report improved carbheat perfomance.
It is very easy to install. Fits very well on the forward crossover pipe.
Hope this helps
Regards,
