A new throttle cable from Van's has 2 1/8" travel- over time the travel will decrease by 3/8" on my IO360-M1B RV8. The throttle cable is firesleeved from the fuel servo end to the engine mount. Aluminum fiberglass tape wraps the firesleeve, and exhaust heat shields protect the cable at the crossover spots. The cable travel doesn't get any shorter after 3/8 is lost- at 50 hours, 1/4" of travel is gone. It's been repeatable with two cables. Anybody else seen this issue? 3/8" is a lot of horsepower!
Thanks!
Thanks!
