Hi! Juergen,
It is my understanding that the original type of cables should always have
been spring pulled to fully open (in the event of cable breaking ) at no
time were they to be used in the "push" mode. In my opinion the most likely
cables to be used to have a push or pull capability would be a Boden cable
specifically designed for such application and also specifically length
sized also, but as good as they are it would be unlikely that the existing
springs would be suitable under such arrangement .

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Throttle Cables
As it goes I just replaced my cables last Sunday. (Believe it ore not, it
took my 5 hours. )
I have been alarmed as the right carburetor did not fully open as I engaged
the throttle in the cold hangar. The part outside of the housing bend
instead of moving into the housing. Don't want to experience this during a
flight!
I also used high end bike parts (Jagwire) to replace them. (The original
cables have got a very poor quality).
I want to encourage at least the builders that have not already installed
the
cables that came with the kit to use a better quality ones.
Now the cables are pulled by the carburetor spring instead of pushed by the
throttle arm.
Regards Juergen
