    Default Re: Updated throttle cables

    Iv'e been dealing with bell crank trouble since I bought my 1050, the cable guide with the adjusting nut was broken off (right side), the cable was just binding against it.
    I bought a friction locking replacement throttle cable from Chief. Well balancing is a pain in the "coordination indicator"

    I'm going to make a replacement part for the broken off cable mount, and go back to the vernier throttle. I want this throttle bug, you buy 1 for each side of the bell crank right (left right)?
    Any thoughts on this plane something better?

    AV8R3400 if you want a friction throttle for duel carbs, I'll set you up when I switch, it's the old-timey round black ball feels good in the hand.

    Zorro,
    You only need one throttle link. It hooks to the cable at the back of one of the bellcrank "ears'. By turning the knob you minutely adjust the cable length back and forth thus syncing one carb to the other carb.
    Once you have it set up, syncing is a "piece of cake" The picture a few frames up shows the proper location. If still in doubt ,give me a call @ 850-304-7371.
