## Discrepancy

DURING THE MID-AFTERNOON, AIRCRAFT HAD TO DO AN ABORTED TAKEOFF AFTER AIRCRAFT JUST BROKE GROUND AND ENGINE QUIT.  AIRCRAFT WAS REFIRED AND TAXIED TO HANGAR.  TEST RAN AIRCRAFT AND FOUND MIXTURE WAS EXCESSIVELY RICH.  SUBMITTER STATED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE MIXTURE SETTINGS CHANGING FROM DAY TO DAY.  CESSNA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.  REMOVED FUEL SERVO AND SENT OUT TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED.
