Oscar, are you going to give Corky a chance to revive his ping-pong ball flotation scheme?

John: take a look at the last two photos here:http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/engine/A75.htmlThis is how Scout is rigged, and the way you describe the routing is preciselythe way I have it. I'm sorry that the photos don't show where or how the cableis secured along the way, but I know that it is secured in at least one placeand I used the double Adel clamp method that is shown in Tony's book. One clampis on one of the tubes of the engine mount, and then a second clamp (boltedto the first) clamps the throttle cable.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

John;The throttle bell crank on my Stromberg requires very, very little effort to swing the butterfly in the throat of the carb.- The inner wire of the Bowden should be plenty stiff to operate the butterfly.- *BUT*- that's under normal circumstances.- Thinking about abnormal conditions (or maybe "normal" for Strombergs a lot of the time), if you have carb ice in the venturi, it may pose significant resistance to movement of the butterfly in the throat of the carb and if you tried to operate the throttle against that resistance, your inner wire would buckle.The outer jacket of my Bowden cable is secured much closer to the carb than 9"; I believe it's clamped to one of the carb screws using a fabricated tab.- Let me look at it on Saturday and maybe get you a picture.- I think you need to run the outer jacket longer, clamp it closer to the carb, and only have a couple of inches of inner wire outside the outer jacket.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... 2#388772le, List Admin.________________________________________________________________________________

Nice progress.Are you planning to put some padding around the bricks, so your passengers don'thurt their head?Or maybe you just like keeping a couple of bricks handy, to throw at people whoask dumb questions.BCRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2012 16:19:29 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Throttle Cable Routing for Stromberg on A65
