Fellow Europaphiles,
Spent yesterday (4th) morning under the Europa. I have replaced the
stranded cable in my throttle with solid 0.065 stainless steel. I
also replaced my home-made throttle box with a new TH01 from Europa
while I was at it. It all seems to work well enough except that the
solid cable has a lot of drag in those long cable runs. I am
considering shortening the run from firewall to carbs to reduce the
drag. My question for those of you who have done this is: How do you
reconnect the cable housing to the threaded adjustment unit on the
carb end after you have cut the cable housing to length? Second
question: Is there a preferred length/route from the firewall to the
carbs?
I'll be posting pics of yesterday's work later today. Right now I
have to go Northwest Regional to work on completion of a Little Toot
we have been building for the last 4 months. Hope to have it (and my
Europa) flying by the coming weekend.
Check six,
Bob Borger
