 Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 4:43 am Post subject: Shortening throttle cable |
 |
|
Fellow Europaphiles,
Spent yesterday (4th) morning under the Europa. I have replaced the
stranded cable in my throttle with solid 0.065 stainless steel. I
also replaced my home-made throttle box with a new TH01 from Europa
while I was at it. It all seems to work well enough except that the
solid cable has a lot of drag in those long cable runs. I am
considering shortening the run from firewall to carbs to reduce the
drag. My question for those of you who have done this is: How do you
reconnect the cable housing to the threaded adjustment unit on the
carb end after you have cut the cable housing to length? Second
question: Is there a preferred length/route from the firewall to the
carbs?
I'll be posting pics of yesterday's work later today. Right now I
have to go Northwest Regional to work on completion of a Little Toot
we have been building for the last 4 months. Hope to have it (and my
Europa) flying by the coming weekend.
Check six,
Bob Borger

according to my firewall fwd for the 912 ULS the cables come over the top or
the LG frame and do a barrel roll to arrive at their respective
carburettors.
