## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ACFT WAS PREPARING FOR TAKEOFF. WHEN THE THROTTLES WERE ADVANCED BOTH ENGINES BALKED AND THEN QUIT. ALTHOUGH A POSSIBILITY OF CARB ICING WAS SUSPECTED, BOTH CARBURETORS WERE SENT FOR TEST AND REPAIR. THERE WAS A SB THAT APPLIED TO THE CARB ACCELERATOR PUMP (VOLARE SB-3). THE ACCELERATOR PUMPS WERE FOUND DAMAGED ON THE CARBURETORS. (TC  20100204002)
