MIXTURE CABLE TO CARBURETOR ARM ATTACHMENT
Figure 5.7.19.8 Mixture cable carburetor attachment.
(a)
The control cable rod pivots the mixture control lever on the carburetor. The
rod is held tight by the mixture swivel fitting.
(b)
Adjusting the cable rod length at the swivel fitting affects the travel of the
mixture control lever. There should be enough travel in the lever that it
reaches the stops on either extreme of its travel.
(c)
The swivel nut should be tightened enough to hold the cable rod firmly but not
enough to shear it or strip the threads. In addition, the bolt should be able to
move freely on the carburetor arm. If an improper washer stack is used, then
the inner wire of the mixture control may clamp the bolt too tight. This can
cause binding and may restrict movement.
