    interesting. so the drilling is a standard fix done to VV carbs to help the diaghram blowout problem?

      I heard of it being a TSB but I'm not to sure. My teacher mentioned it to me as part of the rebuilding process for the VV. They would drill a hole in the case to relieve the pressure so that blow out wouldn't happen again. Chances are the diaphragm is blown out and will need a new one anyway.

            From what Phil told me yeah. He's gotta get another tv bushing since his was half missing before we took the carb off, then broke in half again after we took it off lol.

                That happened to me recently too. It's a good thing they don't run pump gas in piston planes, or we'd all be dead by now with the quality control they have.
