| Subject: | which plugs are from the left mag? |
It depends on if you have two mags or if you are running one electronic ign
ition. If you are running two mags then normally, but not always, it is up
per left and lower right. The best way to trace the leads from the mags to
their respective plugs.

Subject: Letter to Industry
Here is the text of a letter we are sending out to the industry today.
Precision Airmotive LLC has discontinued sales of all float
carburetors and component parts as of November 1, 2007. This
unfortunate situation is a result of our inability to obtain products
liability insurance for the product line. Precision Airmotive LLC and
its 43 employees currently manufacture and support the float
carburetors used in nearly all carbureted general aviation aircraft
flying today. Precision has been the manufacturer of these
carburetors since 1990. These FAA-approved carburetors were designed
as early as the 1930's and continue to fly over a million flight hours
a year. After decades of service, the reliability of these
carburetors speaks for itself.
Nonetheless, Precision has seen its liability insurance premiums rise
dramatically, to the point that the premium now exceeds the total
sales dollars for this entire product line. In the past, we have
absorbed that cost, with the hope that the aviation industry as a
whole would be able to help address this issue faced by Precision
Airmotive, as well as many other small aviation companies. Our
efforts have been unsuccessful.
This year, despite the decades of reliable service and despite the
design approval by the FAA, Precision Airmotive has been unable to
obtain products liability insurance for the carburetor product line.
While we firmly believe that the product is safe, as does the FAA, and
well supported by dedicated people both at Precision and at our
independent product support centers, unfortunately the litigation
costs for defending the carburetor in court are unsustainable for a
small business such as Precision.
Therefore, as of November 1, 2007, Precision Airmotive LLC has been
left with no choice but to cease production and support of its float
carburetor product line.
We are working with the engine manufacturers and others in the
industry in an attempt to minimize the impact on general aviation and
to provide future support for this product line. There is a
substantial quantity of parts and carburetors stocked at our
distributors which should be sufficient to support the industry for a
short time.

OK, I will bite, if no one else will. What happened that the plane that it
went underwater- if you would care to share. I doubt that your 8 is any
better at being a submarine than my 6 !

That is unbelievable. I checked their web site and confirmed that it is
true.
The product liability issue they speak of is not a new story for them.
About a year ago I needed to overhaul one of their carbs and tried to order
an overhaul manual from Spruce. They had it in their catalog for something
like $30.00. I was told that the old overhaul manual was no longer offered
and now you need to buy the new manual with the one year subscription for
updates for something like fifteen hundred dollars. I suspected that it was
just a way for them to take overhaul work away from small shops that were
not authorized service centers since you are not legally allowed to overhaul
a carb unless you have the current maintenance manual according to the FAA.
I called and was told that the truth was that they needed to do the
overhauls in house because their liability insurance was so high that they
were not making any money. What is the world coming to?
