Has anyone installing the EXP119 in the RV14 had an issue with the mixture cable being too long? I have the CT RED MIXTURE 54 cable as standard, with the WD-00110 IO-390C CABLES BRACKET attached as per the manual.
In the enclosed picture the red knob is fully forward in the cockpit. With the cable end anchored fully aft, and the MW-3M rod end screwed in as much as possible, the cable distance from the bracket to the rod end is as short as possible. In order to connect the mixture control arm, it has to be adjusted too far forward, so there is no way to comply with the “halfway point” rule, ie the control arm should be 90º to the cable at the half travel point.
The length needs to be shortened by approx 1/2" ... does anyone know if it's possible to tap the thread further on to the cable end, then trim the end so that the rod end could be screwed further on?
