I am told there is a problem with the carb on the CB269. apparently if you down the collective and then bring it back in a bit quick the motor can start missing badly even to the point of stopping. Practice autos anyone. This happens on mustering operations with 40 degree C days, nil humidity, sky clear. They say there is injection option now available. Just been talking with my friend who has operated a CB for 4500 hours and he says he can get it to miss badly, even stop any time time he likes.
