Over the years I have seen numerous examples of prop, mixture and throttle cable control getting harder to move in and out, usually the result of years of getting gunked up. The solution was always to lubricate the cable and all seemed to resolve.
For the last 5 or so flights, my prop control has become increasingly more difficult to push in or out (including by twisting it). As of today, it no longer goes in or out at all. I attempted to lubricate it but to no avail.
I'll take the cowling off tomorrow and see if I find any kinking or other obvious non-governor-related issues. If that is not the case, can the governor be so bad internally that the cable cannot cause the governor to go in or out? Aside from the cable, what else in the hub could be causing this?
Thanks, as always
