## Discrepancy

RT ENGINE POWER CONTROL CABLES FREEZING AT ALTITUDE. INSPECTED CABLE AND FOUND THE STAINLESS STEEL SLEEVE DISCONNECTED AT JOINT TO FLEX SLEEVE. IT APPEARS TO BE A SILVER SOLDERED JOINT, AND SOLDER FAILED ALLOWING MOISTURE TO ENTER THE INTERNAL OF CABLE AND FREEZE WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF MOTION OF THE CONTROL CABLES AND CAUSE FUEL CONTROL CABLES NOT TO ACHIEVE FULL TRAVEL, RESTRICTING ENGINE POWER.
