## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED SUDDEN ENGINE ROUGHNESS AND POWER LOSS.  UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE, AN UNEVENTFUL ON-AIRPORT LANDING WAS MADE.  INSPECTION REVEALED HEATER/MUFFLER HAD BEEN REPAIRED, BUT INSTEAD OF A 'FLAME CONE' BEING WELDED IN, A FLAME TUBE WITH SOLID END PLATE HAD BEEN INSTALLED.  THIS TUBE HAD BROKEN FREE, AND UPON SLIDING AFT, THE SOLID END PLATE BLOCKED OFF THE MUFFLER OUTLET.
