Mixture cable for 170B with Avcon conversion
Lycoming, Continental, Hartzell, McCauley, or any broad spectrum drive system component used on multiple type.
My mixture cable broke today, looking for the part number, I think mine was the wrong cable or not setup correctly, because was very hard to make the engine quit when I pulled the mixture, and always Had to pull really hard for the engine to quit.
I have the Avcon conversion with the Lycoming O360.
Anyone has the part number for that mixture cable, I would appreciate it.

Suggest a call to McFarlane. Their vernier mixture controls have lined sleeves and operate very smoothly. Can customize the length to precisely fit your installation routing.

I called McFarlane, they dont know which part number it is, they told me they probably have one that fits, and its better option to find the part number, as a las resort it will have to be removed to see the length and have it custom built. (too long of a wait since my mechanic wont be here until next week).

I assumed your Mixture Cable point of attachment at carburetor would be same as on my O-360 on PA-18A where one can remove the core and shorten a longer than required mixture control cable to custom fit to your desired routing.

Don't the STC installation paperwork or drawings specify a p/n and/or or length of that mixture cable?
