Hi All.
Was doing a bit of maintenance on my 1.5 BMC last weekend, changed the belts etc.
I've had a loose lever on the Morse control for ages, so seeing as I had the tools out, I tightened that. Realised the cables were quite loose too and after a bit of looking around and poking it looks like the whole system is a bit bodged.
Where they attach to the control end, one of cables isn't fastened, so when you move the lever the whole cable (inc sheaf) moves, rather than just the wire inside the cable.
Other than that, I think the system is in good condition, but a lot of adjustment is needed, ie:
*Movement forward and backward is very stiff
*The engine rev's loads before the propeller is engaged in either direction
Has anyone played with a Morse? any tips? Is it worth trying to de-grease the inside of the cables or is it just better to buy a new set?
Thanks,
Jess
