Good idea to check and clean the float bowls on you two and four stroke Kolb 

aircraft power plants.



All it takes is a tiny drop of moisture to start the corrosion growing. 

Don't risk an engine out by not checking your float bowls at least once a 

month.  More would not hurt a thing.



Be careful reinstalling.  Make sure the gasket is in the groove before 

pulling the bail in place.  A leaky float bowl gasket will make a 912ULS run 

very poorly.  We had this happen to a friend's 912ULS at a flyin last 

summer.



Don't forget the fuel filter either.
