I believe that in all cases, if you do not prevent the carb from closing, the
throttle plate on ALL carbs will get sucked shut or sucked open, depending on
which way the bias is made in the throttle plate. Most throttle plates are
made with a slight bias towards the bottom, or closing direc
igher speed
aircraft it is.

You want it to go wide open. Always better to land long than short.

I can tell you for sure which way I want the butterfly or slide in my carb
to fail if the cable breaks or lets go... wide open. On an early dual
training flight in a Citabria, after climbing out on takeoff I proceeded to
reduce throttle to cruise setting for the pattern and nothing happened.
Some Suzuki people may remember the old GS series that used a mechanical
slide Mikuni carb instead of a pull cable and compression spring. They
used a fork arm inside the carb body to lift the slide. Doubt it would
take much to modify it to open in case of a broken throttle cable. Hmmm.

Very true. Any true engine out landings have been in helicopters so landing
area was a non issue. Only engine failure in fixed wing was on my
multi-engine checkride. That damn Baron was a brute to fly with left engine
out but at least the one fan still going allowed landing at the airport not
the E
