To preclude slippage of the mixture control wire at the carburetor fuel mixture control arm and resultant power loss due to a lean fuel/air mixture, within the next 25 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the following: A) Visually inspect the mixture control connection on the right side of the carburetor for correct assembly. Assure that (1) Cessna Part Number (P/N) 9862010-9 mixture control assembly wire is secured to the Cessna P/N S2323-11 clamp at the carburetor mixture control arm with an AN960-10 (approximately .063 inch thick) washer installed between the mixture control wire and the MS20365-1032C nut and (2) an AN960-10L (approximately .032 inch thick) washer is installed between the mixture control wire and the mixture control arm. B) If the parts are assembled per Paragraph A), check to assure that the minimum torque on the MS20365-1032C nut is 15 inch-pounds and that the Cessna P/N S2323-11 clamp will swivel in the mixture control arm. Make the prescribed entry in the aircraft maintenance records indicating compliance with this AD and no further action is required. C) If the parts are not assembled per Paragraph A) remove and discard the MS20365-1032C nut. Install washers in the positions specified by Paragraph A) and install a new MS20365-1032C nut.
