THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE IN LIGHT AIRCRAFT IS CARBURETOR ICING
AND SPARK PLUG FOULING — DON’T GUESS WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR AIRCRAFT
Mid-Continent’s B-5 Temperature Probe and MD11 Gauge accurately
measure internal carburetor temperatures, giving the pilot precise
engine information during all phases of flight. Use of this system can
reduce the risk of carburetor icing, decrease spark plug fouling,
extend engine life, and increase range and power to help maximize
fuel economy.
The B-5 Probe is the only FAA-approved STC’d internal carburetor
temperature sensing device. Other probes which utilize a simple
indicator light cannot offer precise temperature information. They
disrupt fuel flow or don’t fit inside the carburetor to sense air
temperature at the throttle valve.
