New carb heat box for Husky

By Janice Wood · July 28, 2009 ·

Aviat Aircraft has redesigned the carburetor heat box for the Husky, attaching a more robust lever arm that hosts a new swivel pivot to which the actuator wire is attached. The dampener is now attached to the new box via bushings that reduce friction and enhance service life.

All models of the Husky can be retrofitted with the new carburetor heat box, which is now standard equipment on new copies of the popular Husky A-1C.
