    Subject: Throttle and choke cable length
    From: "jglazener" <j.glazener@planet.nl>
    I have just threaded the throttle and choke cables through the firewall. They turn out to be twice as long as needed to fix them to the engine. Shortening them does not seem to be an option so what to do? Loop them around? Behind or in front of the firewall? -------- Jeroen http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=44165 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=472056#472056

    Jeroen yes I had the same confusion....and almost shortened them. Dont! However the throttle cables loop forwards of the firewall i suppose to give smooth curves (as it were). It is a full 360 deg loop.

    William, thanks. No tearing rush as the upcoming issue has just gone to press, although nothing like putting pen to paper whilst the process and excitement of the first flight is still fresh in the mind!

    Subject: Re: Throttle and choke cable length
    Jeroen, Things may have changed or be different for a non 914, but the way my 914 fitted in 2002 and have just refitted in last couple of months was for both the choke and throttle cables to split to either side of the engine. The choke cables then take a gentle curve inwards, run alongside each other just in front of the air box (but in different directions) to come at the top of the carb on the other side from where they started. Those cables were the correct length. The throttle cables however just run directly to the carb on their initial side with a slight S bend but no loop or deviation across the midline. I cannot remember for certain now whether they were longer than needed, although I think they were, but shortening them should not be a problem. Cut the outer to the required length with the inner wire withdrawn. Replace the inner wire and cut that once you have threaded it through the throttle attachment and having put a bit of tight heat shrink over the bit you are going to cut, to stop it splaying. Friction within the throttle sheathing is a potential problem as you are relying on a fairly weak spring to pull the throttle wide open, so you want gentle curves and no more than necessary.

    Hi Jon, No worries. I don't know about the other part number motor. Heard that there are failures of the motors due to the voltage. You could contact the manufacture and ask them about the spec of the 12V motor. Matt Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=472064#472064

    I agree with kevin...thought finger brakes would require too much coordination. After the third high speed taxi no problem at all.
