Well it looks that way. Although not final, it looks assured, per EAA magazine, Precision Airmotive Carb product line has been sold to Aero Accessories, makers of Tempest Vacuum pumps and filters. In the deal Carbs and parts will be still be produced, albeit still from a single source. Nothing is noted on either companies companies web site.

Carburetor Line Sold
By Russ Niles, Editor-in-Chief
Precision Airmotive has reached a tentative deal with "a group including Tim Henderson, President of Aero Accessories, and others involved in the manufacture of the Tempest brand of general aviation products," to buy Precision?s line of MSA aircraft carburetors, according to a news release from Aero Accessories/Tempest issued Monday. The group says it plans to move the manufacturing facilities for the carbs to a facility in an undisclosed location in North Carolina. Precision announced earlier this month that it was suspending manufacture and distribution of the carbs and parts after it was unable to obtain product liability insurance. There?s no mention of the insurance issue in the Henderson Group?s release.
