Again,
Click Here for the post you seek.

Probably an ipad glitch. The attached screenshot shows what I got on my Windows lap top, same on my Android tablet.

Another glitch would be that that we are all making posts in the future if you check the time in the top right corner of your post!!

Here's my winterization kit.


I know.....I can be such a smart a$$ at times.

The winterization kit for my 150B is showing not just the front cowl cover but also a "scoop-air intake" 0450266-1, which looks like it would be riveted to the carb heat intake. See attached diagram.

My plane doesn't have it. Are these parts to be used in conjunction?

I have of course flown with the baffle and so have prior owners, with no ill effects noticed on the carb heat function.

Trying without success to upload pics from an ipad of all the winterization parts for the 150M. Any ideas???

Make a thread on Pilots of America and post a. Link to it here. Sadly, there?s not really a quick and easy way to post pics on this site.

One of our members, Donald Beene, asked me, in a PM, about my post. I finally remembered and got around to taking a picture of the two baffles for the inlet air. I tried to attach the pictures in a PM back to Donald, but could not get it to work. So, I am resurrecting this post to show him a picture.

Sorry for the delay, Donald, and I hope you see this.

The scoop actually goes on the cabin heat side. With the winter front on, the airflow and the air pressure inside the cowling is reduced to allow the engine to run warmer. The cabin heat relies on the positive pressure inside the cowling to force the air around the muffler and into the cabin. The reduction in pressure lowers the airflow to the cabin heat side but does not effect the carb heat. The round hole in the winter front should line up with the intake for the cabin heat. The scoop is there to provide a RAM air effect to get as much volume as possible to the cabin heat. The carburetor heat does not need a scoop because it does not rely on the positive pressure inside of the cowling, the air is pulled by the vacuum created by the carburetor.

If you are running the winter front without the scoop, you are not going to cause any ill effects to the aircraft. You will however have lower production from your cabin heat. I hope this helps.
