However, I do not think it is needed =2E We have an Allegro at the flight school with over 5,000 hours and ONLY needed to occasionally tighten the friction bolts in the middle of the sea ts where the throttle rod goes through. We mill these to our specs here at the factory. If needed, they are $25.00 each plus shipping. Again, I do not think anything more than tightening the friction lock is needed. If yo u have questions, please feel free to call. Also, please feel free to put this on the Allegro list.

The metal cap that holds that bushing down may be loose or the bushing is cracked. (mine is cracked and I haven't sea rched for a replacement yet, but I was able to get plenty of friction by ju st tightening the bolts a bit).

I am now finding that while flying the airplane the throttle leve r return springs (i.e. the springs that are connected to the throttle lever on the carburetors on the engine is pulling my throttle towards the open p osition. In other words I have to constantly hold the throttle control in t he cockpit to keep it from migrating towards the full open position. I unde rstand why there is a spring on the carbs. It is to pull the carbs to full open position in case of a throttle cable break. But in my case, if I am fl ying and take my hand off the Allegro cockpit throttle control, the springs on both carbs will pull the throttle further in the open position. I have never had this problem before. It appears that after 700+ hours of o peration there is not enough frictional resistance in the throttle cable sh eaths to hold the cable in position, or there is not enough frictional resi stance in the mechanical throttle arrangement on the Allegro 2000 to hold a set throttle position. Has any one had this problem with the Allegro 2000, 912 UL engine arrangement? Comments and suggestions would be appreciated =2E Hugh G. McKay III, P.E. Fellow, L.M.
