Balky linkages and cables.

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 5 years ago
It seems my 912 ULS engine carb heat linkage is balky. The Rotax manuals stipulate engine oil for the metal linkages. Is that the best? Also the cable is sticky. I believe there is a specific product that should be used and others that shouldn't. Which are the safe lubricants?

    I just use engine oil for my cables and linkages and this has worked fine in Florida a high humidity/salty environment. If the cable is sticking it may have damage from corrosion internally and I would just replace it since if the carb heat gets stuck on while airborne it results in a power loss.
