|
|
While figuring out how to route my control cables for throttle and
mixture, it occurs to me that the engine can rotate quite a bit when it
starts and stops. There is only going to be 3 or 4 inches of cable
between the firewall, where it is firmly gripped, and the notch in the
cable sheath where it is also firmly gripped. Engine movement could put
a lot of tension on the cable.
Is this something I should worry about?
Should I be allowing for some "slack" in the cable between the firewall
and the attach point? It doesn't seem that's very easy to do.
