I am curious about the preflight item in the cockpit section of the checklist you referenced.

Fuel guages -------- off

Why ?

I also note the mixture control is not tested on the runup. I always lean with carb heat on at runup RPM. You should see a rise as the overrich mixture caused by the carb heat is leaned back to best power and then a drop as the mixture goes too lean when you continue to slowly pull the mixture knob out. A very usefull check that the carb is working correctly
