Reference for this entry: page 50-07, 49-19; 3.5 hours

Today will continue with the installation of the engine choke control cable on the RV-12 airplane.

Step 5: Trim the Choke Cable lead to the dimension given in Figure 2, Detail A-A on page 50-07.





Step 6: Actuate the Choke Cable handle through the full range of motion. Ensure that the full range of motion (lower stop-to-upper stop) of the choke lever is achieved. Check for any interference throughout the full range of motion of the choke lever, Wire Swivel, and choke cable lead.



Step 7: Seal the cable penetration grommet (see Page 50-04, Figure 1) and the firewall wire penetration grommet (see Page 45-04, Figure 1) with Firewall Sealant.



Builder's note: I also fire sealed the brake reservoir.
