I'm haveing trouble with my trottle cable wanting  to buckle instead of go back to idle. You are fighting the springs that want to  go full trottle on the carbs and the drag in the cable system. The 1/16" cable  that comes stock with the plane wants bend right at the swivel on the trottle.  My buddy with the Highlander went & spent $150 for a heavy duty 1/8" cable  to solve his problem. He also disconected the springs on the carbs. How has  other people with Kolbs flying the 912's solved this problem? Rick Pearce Kolb  MK3C

Been flying 912 and the S on my mkIII since 1994.  Never had a 

problem.  I use one short cable from throttle to splitter under the 

left seat.  The two long cables, one to each carb.  Try to keep my 

curves as large as possible.  Grease the cables before I put the 

system together.

Rick, Are your cables of 1 X 19 construction? Much stiffer when pushing a control than cable of finer wire.

Rick,

  

 The cable should be in tension when going to idle,  not pushing.

 The throtle cable is in tension whether or not the carb  lever is spring loaded to idle or full.

    Do like John said- grease it baby,  lightly.

 While you have it out check to see if one cable strand (  very hard to see) is bent back after rethreading at one time or  another.

  It happened to me!

 Keep your loops large before and after  splitter.

     My cable pull force was high so I  greased everything one part at a time to see why. Everything worked great until  I threaded the last end where that one strand fetched up!

Rick,

My throttle cable pulls the throttle to idle.  The springs on the carbs.

take it to full throttle when tension is relaxed on the cable.

Vic - What kind of grease did you use for the throttle cables?

I have used teflon grease that I had on hand that I bought from the

trailer supply store.  It is white and seems to work pretty good.

Richard: I don't know for sure what the cable is it  is the stock throttle cable that came with the Kolb kit. 1/16" dia.How is your  throttle cable set up? You are running a 912 aren't you?
