What was found

PILOT REPORTED BINDING OF LEFT ENGINE THROTTLE. INVESTIGATION REVEALED GALLING OF MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT ROD WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE THROTTLE LEVER, WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRANSFER OF METAL FROM THE LEVER TO THE ROD, PREVENTING FULL THROTTLE MOVEMENT. THIS THROTTLE LEVER APPEARS TO BE MADE FROM A MATERIAL DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY USED.
