Re: Carb Ice
Usually I notice a loss of some RPM. 50 or 100 RPM. Usually the first reaction is to squeeze in a little throttle to gain back the RPM thinking the throttle had some creep. Shortly there will be another drop and usually I've had my hand on the throttle so I know it didn't creep this time. Pull carb...

Re: Diagram for control cables
The 100 Series Service Manual may be of some help. You are looking for diagrams or details for the '56 172 in the aileron and flap department. Rudder, prior to '55 will be different. Of course don't accidentally install a nose wheel :D ! Aww, I like my nose wheel. I also like tailwheels too when I ...

Re: Oil quick drain issue
Why do the instructions on some quick drain units say to never leave a hose attached to the drain? I have had a hose attached to mine every since I installed it 20+ yrs ago and have not had any issues. I know of others who do this as well. That may be because some would install it on an aircraft wi...

Re: Venturi System not producing enough vacuum
Check the inside of the venturi. Mine had a lot of rust in it disturbing the airflow going through it. When I smoothed it out with a round wire brush it raised my vacuum 2 inches. Make sure the small hole inside the venturi is clear. I had checked all hoses and connections and they were good. The ru...

Re: Rear seat attach
An old trick is to find a screw or bolt an 1/8" longer and sharpen it like a golf pencil, so that it self aligns in the hole. Easier said than done cause you also need a good grip length. Then run a die to smooth out the threads of the part you sharpened. I ran the die on the bolt first then s...

Re: Carpet or Vinyl for a floor covering
I've got a '63 172 and ordered the carpet from SCS and installed it about 5 years ago. I realize you're looking at the vinyl floor covering but the carpet I got fit perfectly and I'm well satisfied with it.
