cables away from the killer exh system, then you can wrap the cables with spark
plug wire insulation - - a smaller version of the normal hose type heat protective
stuff. Lube will not work, as the nylon inner wrap is balled around the
wire - hanging on for dear life! If this persists, you can try the 920 cables
from ACS, or buy replacement cables from Cablecraft - certified stuff, thus
very expensive.

>Mark is correct. When your engine control cables begin binding, it is usually
heat related. We carry several types of insulation, Rocket proven, for these
type of problems. We have firewall insulation to keep your feet from roasting,
Heat Shield mat to keep exhaust heat from burning the paint off of your
cowling, sleeve insulation for fuel lines (or control cables), and intake insulation
kits to keep the exhaust heat away from the induction pipes and rubber
parts. And we have it in large and small sizes at a price that beats ACS by
a wide margin.... and it's better stuff too!

Hi Vince,
I was checking out your web site. This stuff looks like it might do the trick
for my Prop cable issues:

My IO-390 has a front mounted governor and I brought the control cable over the
top of the engine. The closest point is probably about 6" from the top of the
cylinders.
Here are some pictures of my installation:
