## Discrepancy

(CAN) ICE FORMED INSIDE OF LOWER END OF TUBE THAT IS EXPOSED TO COLD AIRFLOW BELOW COWLING.  THE BREATHING TUBE IS STREAMLINED A SMALL AMOUNT, WHICH RESTRICTS AIRFLOW AND MAKES A GOOD PLACE FOR ICE TO COLLECT. MFG HAS RELEASED A NEW MANDATORY SB-GA8-2015-125, ISSUE 1 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
