582'ers.... I am new to the engine on my recently purchased Kitfox. I have a question regarding the Bing carbs that are on the machine.
I noticed during inspection of the float bowls that there wasn't any safety wire somehow holding the float bowl strap to ensure that is doesn't inadvertainly slip off. In addition I didn't really see an obvious way to make that happen.
Question:
1. Is there a safety wire that goes onto the float bowl strap?
2. Has anyone has an incident where this has come off mid-flight? I obviously would have disasterous results.
