## Discrepancy

IN THIS CASE, FOUND THAT THE B-NUT CONNECTING TO THE FUEL CONTROL FROM THE SPIDER WAS LOOSE.  IT WAS NOT LEAKING, BUT REQUIRED A THIRD OF A TURN TO TORQUE DOWN TO PROPER TORQUE.  NO OTHER WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THE SPIDER OR FUEL CONTROL BECAUSE I HAVE DONE THE WORK SINCE NEW ON THIS AIRCRAFT.  TT 228.8.  REMEMBER FINDING A LOOSE FIREWALL FITTING ON THE FIRST INSPECTION.  THIS IS THE SECOND INSPECTION DONE ON THIS AIRCRAFT.  IT WAS CERTIFIED 11/11/2004.  (K)
