bluesideup is on a distinguished road
I've operated a C-35 Bonanza for 400 hours. It has a pressure caraburetor. I' ve not found any special prolems or techiniques necessary to operate it. After shutdown its a good idea to store the airplane with the mixture rich and the trottle almost all the way in (towards the full throttle position). This allows a little fuel to drip into the carburetor to keep the diaphragms moist. They cost about $1700 + labor to replace. Some also suggest bringing th fuel pressure up with the electric pump after shut down to inhance the effect.
