## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT LOST POWER DURING FLIGHT.  PILOT MADE AN UNEVENTFUL EMERGENCY LANDING.  UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, FOUND CARBURETOR HEAT FLAPPER SEAL HAD BROKEN OFF AND A PIECE LODGED IN CARBURETOR VENTURI.  UPON REMOVAL OF PIECE OF SEAL, AIRCRAFT DEVELOPED FULL POWER.  RECOMMEND CLOSER DETAILED INSPECTION OF THIS SEAL AT 100-HOUR AND ANNUAL INSPECTIONS.
