## Discrepancy

UPON SHUTDOWN AFTER FLIGHT, PILOT PULLED ON CARBURETOR MIXTURE CABLE TO IDLE CUT-OFF. THE CABLE CAME OUT IN THE PILOTS HAND. SUSPECT CARBURETOR MIXTURE CABLE BROKE DURING FLIGHT. SUSPECT CABLE HAS A QUALITY ISSUE. NOTE: DID NOT EFFECT OPERATION OF AIRCRAFT DURING FLIGHT. REPLACED CABLE WITH NEW.
