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.
