Objectives of this task:
To fit all engine control cabling from the instrument panel to the engine.
Materials required:
Cables: Throttle, Carb Heat, Choke, Cabin
Heat (optional – see Card #25)
Size the outer cables
The Carb Heat, Choke and the optional Cabin Heat outer cables will
need to be cut to length. This is done by removing the inner cables
completely and then fitting the outer cables through the panel and
routing them through the firewall to the appropriate locations and then
trimming each outer cable to length. The Choke and the optional Cabin
Heat cables will then need to have allowance made for the threaded
end section, which is then crimped onto the cut end (use the crimping
tool, shown at right). The throttle cable is supplied ready to use.
Fit the cables to the instrument panel
Fit the Carb Heat, Choke and the optional Cabin Heat cables to the lower centre of the
instrument panel through the nameplate and secure each to the panel with a serrated washer
and lock nut and then route the cables through the firewall as shown above.
Fit the throttle cable through the firewall from the engine side with the ball end inside the
cabin and secure with a slotted flat washer and nut on each side of the firewall as shown.
Fit the ball end of the throttle cable into the drive arm on the throttle shaft.
