## Discrepancy

OPERATOR REPORTED ENGINE WOULD NOT RUN WELL AT LOW SPEEDS.  FOUND CARBURETOR BODY TO BOWL LOOSE.  LOCK TABS ARE WERE IN LOCKED POSITIONS.  THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE ON THIS AIRCRAFT IN APPROXIMATELY 200 HRS OF FLYING.  THE BOWL THREADS APPEARED TO BE EXCESSIVELY WORN.  A SERVICEABLE BOWL WAS INSTALLED.  EXACT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.  GASKET SHRINKAGE IS SUSPECTED SERIAL NUMBER WAS NOT RECORDED.
