| Subject: | Re: 582 throttle cable |
Thinking about an in-flight loss of throttle control is pretty scary. It was something
I considered when I built my Kitfox. My conclusion was that throttle reliability
would come from smooth operation and took care to insure that. Still
a little worried, I added a visual examination of the throttle linkage to my
preflight checklist. Indeed the cable bends a bit as the lever travels from min
to max, but it's a smooth bend with no stress point. And there's never any
kind of a kink that forms. The pivot gets greased at every annual. Myself and
two Kitfox friends have not added a spring nor have we done anything other than
insure operation is smooth - between us we probably have 1800 hours.
As another thought, the pivot has a single point that digs into the cable wire.
If that loosened, throttle control would be lost. So some guys on the List here
(including me) have added a brass cable stop (AutoZone p/n 03338) to both sides
of the pivot.
Hope this helps.
Mike

I just recently put the oil injection back on my engine. This added another spring
for the throttle wire to push against.
