SNIP I have seen this too many times - looks like heat is the killer. Move the 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.
Carry on!

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!
There is no excuse to have heat problems with your engine. None. Us old dogs have been there, done that and we know how to fix the problems!
Thx,
Vince

Hi Vince,
I was checking out your web site. This stuff looks like it might do the trick for my Prop cable issues:
http://www.flyboyaccessories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=264
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:

Vans aircraft makes some good deflectors that can be attached to the exhaust pipes that will deflect radiated heat from heat sensitive parts (ignition lines, hoses etc). I used them when I first test flew my RV8 and experienced heat problems. I also had the exphaust pipes ceramic coated which considerablhy reduced the radiated heat within the cowl. Note, it is best to ceramic coat the pipes before use, however they can be cleaned internaly .
