## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK AT CRUISE POWER FOR AN INSTANCE.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND DETERMINED THAT AUX FUEL PUMP MICRO SWITCH MOUNTING HARDWARE HAD BECOME LOOSE AND INTERFERED WITH THE THROTTLE CABLE ASSEMBLY.  NEW HARDWARE WAS INSTALLED IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE AIRPLANE.
