Subject: Throttle Cables sticking
I am looking to see what others have done to prevent throttle cable bowing
of the twisted wire used in most throttle cables. I have a 914 installed on
a Europa and am having problems with one of the cables wanting to bow in the
throttle box and not allowing me to get full power. The throttle springs are
not strong enough to pull the cable and keep it in tension all the time. On
the Europa form others have talked about going to a solid cable .055 or .078
SS piano wire. I have some concerns about the carburetor attachment point
producing a stress crack and failing under the vibration. I am interested to
hear what others have done?
