## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE RECENTLY OVERHAULED ENGINE WOULD START (ON PRIMING FUEL) AND THEN QUIT (AS IF THE MIXTURE CONTROL WAS IN IDLE CUTOFF),  CARBURETOR REMOVED AND ANOTHER CARB PUT ON ENGINE - RAN NORMAL CARB MIXTURE, CONTROL SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON IDLE CUT-OFF INTERNALLY, ALTHOUGH EXTERNAL CONTROL ARM MOVES FROM LEAN TO RICH - SENT TO OVERHAUL FACILITY FOR REPAIR.
