Free Manuals..
Marvel-Schebler/Precision Carburetors: Troubleshooting manuals and service bulletins for Marvel-Schebler carburetors were available free at the time of this posting. The Forum Board strongly recommends that you consider downloading the documents appropriate to your airplane to your permanent aviation library at your first opportunity.
Cessna Corporate is continuing to offer parts manual downloads for many models on their website. We encourage you to download and safeguard a copy of these vital records so that you’ll always have them available. A thumb-drive kept in the airplane for use during your travels might be a good idea.

These Manuals have gone through periods where they have become unavailable without notice.. The current link "https://support.cessna.com/custsupt/csupport/newlogin.jsp" seems to be up and running again..Your Forum Board will try to keep the links updated with your help. Please help us keep the Membership apprised .
The Forum Board again would like to emphasize the importance of securing your own personal download. Relying on off-site hosting for such critical documents may not be 100% reliable. We suggest you protect your interests by downloading a copy to your own personal aviation library.
Continental Engine Manuals: Continental has made available many engine manuals for free download. Your Forum Board encourages every owner/operator to take advantage of this resource.
Special thanks as always: to those that take the time to share experience and counsel on our forums. Your generosity of self sets the CPS standard.
