Anyone experience "binding" in the throttle quadrant? My throttle and mixture seem more ? difficult to move than normal. I have check firewall forward and find no reason for more force required to move. I have tried the friction lock control but it does not seem to accomplish much if any.

My cables seized up and made the quadrant levers very hard to move.
Try checking the archives--there should be part numbers and lenghts
for throttle, prop, and mixture cables. A few extra inches makes
routing a lot easier.

If you don't find them I can dig them up.

Thanks. I already ordered extra length cables from Vans. I added 1.5 inches
to each. Prop cable is fine. I did confirm the problem in the cable. After
disconnecting the throttle lever it moved freely and smoothly. I then
disconnected injection system mechanism from the throttle cable and it moved
freely. The cables look fine but move with force and jerkily. I did notice
that the bracket which Vans supplies could be angled differently and
improve the connection. Vans indicated that their cables were Cablecraft but
given their price, it is more likely they are ACS out of Lake Havasu AZ
rather than the more expensive Tuthill Cablecraft cables for certified
aircraft. The Cablecraft cables last to engine TBO and longer. Given the
hassle to change the cables, it might be better to special order a set to
proper length direct from Cablecraft. Next time I will.

I will try and verify on Monday the source of Vans quadrant control cables.
They are the correct color for Cablecraft low friction but the ACS website
does not show their cables. Anyway the throttle and mixture lengths for the
Vans cable set need to be increased 1.5-2 inches for better routing options
and fit.

I'm not sure what Vans is charging today, but I ordered special length cables from Vans for my quadrant setup -- all longer than what he shows in the catalog -- and each cable was $75.00, didn't matter the length. The cables were made to the exact length I requested.
