2.5.3 Air induction system:
the case of the C42 / C42 UK air is drawn in through the air filters mounted inside the
engine compartment.
In the case of the C42B / C42B UK / C42E, ambient air is drawn in through an inlet in
the cowling and fed to the carburettors. This results in a 2-3% improvement in
performance. In the event of carburettor icing, an adjustable flap in the induction tube
reduces the amount of outside air being fed into the system. Instead, additional
warm air flows in from the exhaust shroud.
