Repaired.

Arrival of new cable. Side by side comparison performed. On the "old" OEM cable, an end feral let go & slide down the sheathing 3/4 ". Moving forward, making progress.

Neither. Correct cable that had 300+ hours also(per manual) installed correctly. Part # embossed on used cable correct. Apparently not only the inner cable stretches over time, so can the sheathing.(?) A few factors to consider. Poor lube PM coupled with maladjustments & hard use, feral slipped...

Resolved. Threaded SS cable. Stretched .5, unremarkable. Inside C clip relief to relief. Stretched .75. Mystery solved. Give a big SHOUT OUT to Bob @ SBT tech services for the patience & taking the time to pull new cable & give a accurate measurement of the relief distances. If I'm ever in your...

The overall length, 42" is true for both trim & steering, however the throw on steering is 4" while the throw is 1.85 on the trim. Also the pic of numbers on cable point to the direction of "true" but me think that might not be OEM. SBT maybe? All vendors are describing 42" with different...

One hell of a lift kit on Crackhead. He's got that abrasive/unapproachable glow to him.

While waiting on Gel coat, PVA & filler to arrive...1st pic w/o shim. 2nd pic, shows linear mismatch. 3rd pic, .090 shim added to all 4 corners. 4th pic. Plate/intake with shim. No matter, they're being replaced with Jet Dynamics. 5th pic. My new trotline weight.

At purchase X2 started & created smoke, noise sporadically. Dropping fire to the plugs intermediately. Knew it was a basket case so not disappointed. Didn't bother diagnosing any further. Stator made in China, toss, going with JSS stator. E-box with butchered wires with OEM colors, easy fix...

Facebook is a crutch, plain & simple. Pull the plug & society gets kicked in the teeth for a day? A week? A definite "chink in the amour", but not my amour.
