Engine out
Hey Bob, glad to hear you're ok. Good job on getting safely on the ground. I'm working on the lower cowl so your post's timing is spot on. Thx for letting us know.

I had ~ the same experience. Only in my case the airbox departed the plane and is somewhere over the NC landscape. It ran, but not great. It was no emergency in my case but it was time to land. The most frustrating part was paying for the new FAB and AFP ring parts!
Mine is now safety'd and I check it regularly.

I used this exact approach for carb'd

this same configuration is working well for me. 80 hrs.
