Study Notes

Ram air enters the engine through an opening in the forward part of the lower engine cowling nose cap.
The air is filtered through a filter located at the opening in the nose cap.
The filtered air is directed to the inlet of the carburetor, mounted on the lower side of the engine.
In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with the air to create a fuel-air mixture.
The fuel-air mixture is distributed to each cylinder by separate intake pipes attached to the intake manifold.
The intake pipes are attached to the intake manifold with hose and clamps, and to the cylinder with a two-bolt flange sealed with a gasket.

The induction airbox contains a valve operated by the carburetor heat control in the cabin.
The valve permits air from an exhaust-heated source to be selected in case of carburetor icing or filter icing.
