Jose,

The carburetor heat provides air from a source inside the cowling and
bypasses the air filter. It is an alternate air source for the engine
and is heated.

All the best,
Rick

does your "carb heat"
just apply heated air to the regular air intake to the carb or manifold? or
is it an "alternate air source"


The former, I believe, though I'll check it out. It's an archer (we also have
a dakota, which should be similar). There is an "alternate air" lever, but
that's an alternate static source.
