Some airplanes were delivered with a cork or rubber filler strip cemented to the upper surface of the 145-42201-71 carburetor air intake scoop where the scoop fits over the flange of the air mixing chamber. This strip may becomes dislodged and drawn into the air induction system. To prevent this, replace the filler strip with a 3 1/8-inch x 5/8-inch dural strip of 0.093- inch thickness, flush-riveted to the scoop.
