ArtVandelay Posted May 18, 2021 Report Posted May 18, 2021 I measured the distance the throttle knob had to be out for 16''MP. The shops used that to set the alarm switch. But sometimes the warning comes on at 23MP and sometimes 19. Never been able to get any consistency or even close to the warning coming on at 16MP. I don't have much resistance in the cable. I tried increasing/decreasing the friction but that doesn't make the vernier work. I am open to any ideas because Macfarlane said to work with the installer and the installer has given up on the cable working correctly. Same with the second MSC.The only thing I can think of is someone screwed up the installation. There is a dummy insert that retains some roller bearings, during installation you need to be careful not to pull it or the bearings fall out, and your vernier won’t work. Here’s a related link, BTW: https://mooneyspace.com/topic/38500-feasible-and-practical-to-fit-vernier-throttle-to-an-m20j/?tab=comments#comment-662913 Quote
carusoam Posted May 19, 2021 Report Posted May 19, 2021 Tom, There is nothing normal about what you are describing.... When the controls don’t work as expected... There is a likelihood that there is room for improvement... Broken controls can cause hazardous conditions for flight... See if you can get your controls in tip top shape... and set up properly... PP thoughts only, not a mechanic... Best regards, -a- Quote
