Both times it was at normal cruise power around 5,000 rpm on warm humid days. Noticing it quickly, it is easy enough to clear by cycling the throttle open/close a couple of times. If you don't notice it quickly and don't clear it out, it can build up pretty fast and lead to serious loss of power. It is not a bad idea to install carb heat but we chose not to do so... yet. -------- Thom Riddle CFI-SP Power Plant Mechanic N221FA Allegro 2000 912UL N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- Scratch any cynic, he said, and youll find a disappointed idealist.
