Glad to hear that you found it. Sometimes you have to let logic and knowledge dictate your next move on trouble shooting a problem.

Back in Dec, I had a problem with an engine not throttling up. After moving the injector pump throttle shaft it would throttle down and shut off like it was supposed to, but not throttle back up. Since it was a cable operated shaft, and pulled the cable to throttle down I deducted that it must be either the sheath of the cable was slipping in the clamp (this literally happened overnight) or the sheath of the cable was broken.

I fought that thing for over two hours out in the cold, called three locals (including a pro) that should have been able to help me out, but all they could tell me was that it probably wasn’t the cable, rather the mechanical linkage on the foot pedals somewhere that was causing this. Finally frustrated I threw in the towel and took it to the “pros” because I couldn’t figure out which bolt to take out next so that I could get to the end of the cable.

Turned out that the “pros” thought they had it fixed when they bent a cotter pin on the mechanical linkage. They called with the good news that I didn’t need a new cable ($175) after all. I went down to get it only to find out that it still wouldn’t throttle up. (ERRRRRRRRRR). Well, after two guys worked on it 3 hours with the part time help of a third guy they finally got the new cable in. (You guessed it, it’s a real stinker!) The sheath on the old one was broken, just like I suspected in the first place.

I’m glad I took it in cause it is such a pain to put in and I didn’t have the manpower to do it. Still frustrating that the “pros” didn’t check to make sure that what they had done fixed it before I was told the “good news” and to come and get it. :>(

Good luck with that, I’m gonna bet you’re going to like it now that it’s working the way it’s supposed to! =:>)
