## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, THE MIXTURE CONTROL SLEEVE WAS FOUND LOOSE IN THE THROTTLE BODY.  THE THROTTLE BODY WAS SENT FOR SB 18 COMPLIANCE.  MSA CONFIRMS THE FINDINGS THAT WERE REPORTED.  THE SLEEVE HAD REPORTEDLY ROTATED AND FUEL STARVATION HAD OCCURRED.  THIS RESULTED IN POWER LOSS.  THIS REPAIR STATION REITERATES THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVEING CARBURETORS AFFECTED BY SB 18 INSPECTED BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT.
