<p>Hey, Dan -- Does your installation work smoothly? That appears to be the type of dual cable setup I was talking of earlier in this discussion. Does it operate smootly or do you have too much friction as descibed by Fernando in his post above? Curious minds want to know.................</p>

<p>Hi, I took this approach and installed the dual cables as you describe. I removed the friction from the passenger side and kept the friction knob in the pilot's side. The results were not as expected as the friction that generates the extra control cable is too high and the throttle control became extremelly hard to push and pull because now it's not only pushing or pulling the carb arm but its pulling and pushing the carb arm plus the 6 to 8 feet control cable from the other side.

I am taking David Muse's approach and using a bellcrank, much less friction added or not at all.</p> Check with dan glazetag:zenith.aero,2022-07-09:2606393:Comment:8735132022-07-09T02:40:36.844ZBart mcCoyhttps://zenith.aero/profile/BartmcCoy

<p>Hi, Joe</p>
<p>I designed my own dual setup in 2014. I also have the MA-3 carb. I made mine with a single cable bought off the shelf from Aircraft Spruce and fabricated a simple bellcrank system that has been totally reliable. I would send you pix of all this, but the photos are on my computer, which this one is not. I'll try to add the illustrations to my page when I get home .</p>

<p>I plan on doing just what you describe - two throttle cables connected to the same carb throttle arm. Several years ago someone described using that exact installation. That person removed the throttle friction adjustment guts from the co-pilot throttle cable handle. That way only the pilot friction control can be adjusted and the co-pilot unit is always just along for the ride. That person reported good results with that type of installation.</p>

<p>The two cable ides strikes me as being a better solution than the dual throttle arrangement that comes with the kits - too many pivot points and connections points.</p>
