Troy=2C
I made drip 'pans'=2C I prefer to call them heat shields out of the origina
l firewall material=2C and attached them to the upper bolt of the exhaust p
ipe. My idea was to shield the carbs from the intense heat below=2C to stop
the fuel from boiling when taxiing. It is a very simple mod and solved the
boiling problem.
I also have the carb heater=2C but rarely switch it to ON.
