What was found

PROPELLER GOVERNOR CABLE EXTREMELY STIFF WITH POSSIBLE BROKEN WIRE INSIDE OUTER SHROUD. THIS CAUSED THE THROTTLE LEVER BEARING, WHERE THE ROD END FOR THE PROP GOVERNOR CABLE ATTACHES TO THE THROTTLE LEVER, TO BREAK APART. THE STRENGTH OF THE BEARING FOR THIS APPLICATION IS QUESTIONABLE. THE THROTTLE LEVER PN 10007-001 ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED.
