Throttle Springs

by Charles Carlon in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 9 years ago

Replacing my throttle cables and springs I notice that the springs do not pull the throttle to the WOT stop they seem to be to long. I am confused any thoughts

Could your springs not be stock? Aircraft MFG's do change things.
How far off WOT are they?

Not able to look at it today but around 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I ordered new from Lockwood and will compare them to the USSPORT ones on Monday

If it is within 1/8-1/4" then they are full open and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
