912 ULS Carburetor Bowl
in 912 / 914 Technical Questions

Two days ago on take off I experienced an uncommanded engine power reduction. Long story short, I removed the carburetor bowls to inspect for possible contamination. It appears that the coating/plating inside the bowl is breaking down, flaking off. I showed the bowls to an A&P on the field and he was very concerned and thought it was a manufacturing defect. Attached are some pictures. Any feedback is welcome.
