## Discrepancy

THROTTLE CABLE OUTER HOUSING DETERIORATED AND SEPARATED FROM SWEDGED FITTING AT CLAMP LOCATION AFT OF ENGINE.  THIS ALLOWED THE OUTER HOUSING TO MOVE INSTEAD OF THE CARBURETOR CONTROL ARM AS THE THROTTLE CONTROL WAS MOVED.  RECOMMEND CABLE REPLACEMENT WHEN ANY INDICATION OF CRACKING IN THE OUTER HOUSING BECOMES VISIBLE.
