## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON INSPECTION OF CARB HEAT CONTROL CABLE, THE INNER CABLE FOUND WORN DOWN TO HALF THICKNESS, BUT UPON FIRST GLANCE COULD NOT BE SEEN, THE NEED TO APPLY SLIGHT PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO EXTEND THE INNER CABLE AND COMPRESS/FLEX BUTTERFLY VALVE SEAL FAR ENOUGH TO SEE WARE MARK ON INNER CABLE, CABLE, PN S1230-15, REPLACED NEW.
