Carb heat exhaust take off

cgoldy said:

I’m looking for a particular Carb heat exhaust take off. I had one originally but gave it away when I fitted a Sutton.

It’s a simple shroud with two stand off legs, held on by two hose clamps clamping the stand off legs to the pipe. I think it had a little corse filter in the opening. Connected by a scat hose of course.

Anyone recognise that description?

Later model 180s used a heat robber on the left side exhaust to provide carb heat. I pitched mine years ago or I'd take a picture. Salvage yards should have them.

I added a flange on the muffler shroud for carb heat.

Don't know what Atlee's did. I probably should, huh? Doesn't matter. My carb heat sure works better.

This? Not my airplane and am not certain they are the same part

I’m trying to figure out similar. Muffler is used but from an injected engine(Sutton) so it’s missing the carb heat end of shroud.... plus a few other mods it had to fit this style cowl.... thinking might make a heat robber style box that chooses between cabin and carb heat.... haven’t really thought much about it yet... but need to figure it out some day....

that looks like an ADDITION to the sutton system with the Original(sutton)carb heat shroud...??

Can anyone tell me if a Sutton exhaust has a heat shroud that is split to accommodate cabin heat and carb heat? I always thought they did but Cgoldy's original post has me wondering.

Thanks, Web

My Sutton has a muff that does heater and carby heat. Heavy stainless steel shroud around the muffler. I took it off to remove weight up front. I live in a warm climate. So that is why I am looking for a small Light heat take off for the carby heat.

Colin, Why don't you replace that heavy stainless shroud with an aluminum one to reduce the weight? By design, it is always cooled by the continuous flow of air. This will reduce the cluttering up of the engine compartment which would happen if you used one of these other units. Just keep an eye on it for a while until you learn it's habits. They aren't all made of stainless.

Did you happen to weigh the stainless shroud?
