Re: control problems

i got the intructions followed to the letter.did find some gaulding and wear on the part the ball runs on buffed that out smooth.it worked for a few times going back and forth son worked the controls i stood at the prop and made sure it was engaging in gear then it locked up again just fwd of neutral safety trip.could the cables be stretched so much that it causes this?just about bald after 3 days a messin with this thing any more ideas?

Re: control problems

It might be stretched.

It also might be slipping inside one of the Casing Guides.Confirm that the set screws are holding the cable. Note that if you overtighten them the cable will break. Diagram 8-11.
