## Discrepancy

INSPECTION FOUND THROTTLE OUTER CABLE HOUSING VERY DETERIORATED DUE TO AGE/HEAT EXPOSURE.  INNER HOUSING LOOSE AT FORWARD END, ABOUT TO SEPARATE.  SUBMITTER STATED IF NOT CORRECTED, LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER WILL RESULT.  THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT SUBMITTER HAS FILED ON THIS PART.  THIS IS THE FOURTH CABLE SUBMITTER HAS FOUND IN BAD CONDITION IN APPROXIMATELY ONE AND ONE-HALF YEARS.  SUBMITTER STATED CABLES SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS WHICH ARE OF DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION.
