S-7S THROTTLE CABLE AND CHOKE INSTALLATION
The throttle lever installation in the cabin should be completed. Refer to
THROTTLE LEVER INSTALLATION .
THROTTLE CABLE INSTALLATION
1. Install the adjuster ferrule into the throttle cable mounts as per parts
manual. Position the ferrule at the mid of its adjustment range to allow for
later adjustments in both directions.
2. Install the throttle cable mounts to the carburetors as shown in the parts
manual if not already done.
3. Determine the cable housing routing and cut to length. NOTE: Cable
housing routing is left to the discretion of the builder.
4. Slide the throttle cable housing into the slot in the retention block from the
forward side. Reference
FIGURE 02E-01 . The housing should enter the
forward side of the stub and bottom against the interior side of the aft wall.
Route the housing along the left side of the fuselage towards the top of the
firewall, exiting the firewall through the rubber grommets just above the
station 1 top cross tube. Zip tie the cable housing to the diagonal between
station 1 and station 2. Refer to
FIGURE 09D-06 .
5. Tighten the screws in the retention block to retain the housings into the
stub.
CAUTION: Over tightening the screw could result in a crushed
housing or stripping the threads in the retention block.
6. Route the housing to the carburetors.
7. The throttle cable has a swagged stop on each end, cut the larger of the
two ends off. Feed the throttle cable through the housing from the
carburetor side. The cable will exit the aft side of the stub through the
retention block. Route the cable through the grooves in the cable guide of
the forward throttle lever and install the cable stops and set screws. See
FIGURE 02E-11 . Pull the excess cable through until the swagged stop
bottoms against the throttle lever on the carburetor. Cut off excess cable
length at the throttle lever end, leaving enough for adjustment.
8. For final adjustment refer to RIGGING .
9. Safety-wire the cable housing ends to the adjuster ferrules. Loop the
safety-wire around the cable housing several times, twist and secure to
each adjustor ferrule. Refer to
FIGURE 03-13 .
10. Loctite the cable stop set screws when final adjustment has been made.
