A bit of info. that might help others.
 
My Morse (push-pull) control cable for the throttle got gradually harder to operate to where it completely jammed.
The cause seems to be the heat from the exhaust stack.  There is a heat shield between both, but that was not enough.
I installed a heat sleeve over the new control cable, no problem this far.  See photo.
