im changing to MA-4SPA as I have mentioned in other threads,
I have an A-1550-0430 Throttle cable from aircraft spruce, it is push-pull bulkhead type cable at both ends with 3.37" stroke which worked for the previous carb geometry that I had (not same carb) and works fine firewall aft. Now with MA-4SPA with vans VA-149-320 bracket, and it seems like it has too much throw / is too long past the bulkhead nuts? it is impossible to thread on a rod end bearing and attach to the throttle arm with hardware at fully retracted (idle)it is at least 1" too long to attach to the carb.
what is the right throttle cable lengths what should I be looking to order. or maybe put another way what cable would work with the VA-149-320 bracket mounting and MA-4SPA. I'm not sure where to start with this.
