I put a single vernier throttle on A143, it was very straight forward as the

I am a fan of vernier throttles ever since flying with one in a hired Bonanza
years ago, but I don't think I've ever seen one fitted to a Europa. Can you
advise how this is achieved?

adjustment _and_ dual cables. Obviously one could make some sort of intermediate
bellcrank arrangement under the cowl to operate 2 carbs from one cable,
but I suspect that would be a lot of work to get approved here in UK. I'd hope
that _if_ a dual-cable vernier knob was available, that could be installed
without
so much approval hassle.

push-pull.
But I know what _I_ like!)
