Has anyone really removed the drip pan on a 912 to allow dropping the carb bowl? If you have please give me the steps you used to do that in 1,2,3, order.
As far as I can tell the only way to get the drip pan away from the carb on my 912 is to remove the carb from the intake manifold by taking out two bolts that go through the flange. Then, however, the drip pan is not removed from the carb but the carb removed from the drip pan. The drip pan is riveted to everything it impinges upon......so far as I can tell you can't "remove" it.
If you think this is wrong please tell me why.
BTW....inspection of the floats has been done on my bird but it was not done by removing the drip pan as called for in the SB.....but without the SB explaining or showing how to do that.
