## Discrepancy

DURING LANDING ROLLOUT THE RIGHT ENGINE QUIT.  ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AND RUNUP NORMAL EXCEPT FOR CARB HEAT OPERATION.  MAINTENANCE FOUND BOTH LT & RT CARB HEAT CONTROLS NOT RIGGED RIGHT.  MECHANIC OPENED CONSOLE AND FOUND THE SPACERS FOR BOTH CARB HEAT LEVERS HAD NOT BEEN INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY AND THIS ALLOWED THE CARB HEAT CONTROL LEVERS  TO HANG UP ON THE CONSOLE FRAME
