Islander2 and I threw 'induction blockage' out as an idea to explain low MP on one (or depending on how you read MLB's post both) engine(s). There have been several answers of how common forms of intake blockage shouldn't effect this aircraft. Moving away from this particular case - are there any system failures that can result in less than atmospheric MP other than an induction blockage? (ignoring the case of a faulty gauge)? Are there any sources of inflight induction problems other than, icing/snow, broken alt air door, others??
