## Discrepancy

(CAN) MIXTURE CONTROL WAS FOUND TO BE STIFF BY MAINT ON AN ENGINE START FOR TAXI TO HANGER. CABLE WAS REMOVED. THE CABLE ROUTING POSITIONS THE CABLE LESS THAN (6) INCHES FROM THE TURBOCHARGER. AN ASBESTOS COVER HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PLACED OVER THE CABLE AND STITCHED TOGETHER WITH LOCK WIRE TO PROTECT THE CABLE. ( NOT DONE AT OUR SHOP). ONCE THE COVER WAS REPLACED WE DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE OUTER CABLE SHIELD DETERIORATED AND MISSING A TWO INCH SECTION. (TC NR 20070502008)
