Proofmeter cable

[Roy (NC)]

When I rebuilt, I installed a new proofmeter and proofmeter cable.

After three days of running, only about 10 minutes a day, the meter quit working. I took the cable off and the internal drive shaft was wrung off.

I did notice that the ferrules where it connects to the meter and at the governor end were not very tight. I don't know if this was the problem or not. At any rate, I've ordered another cable.

I would appreciate any tips to help me install this one correctly, so it won't happen again.

Thanks,

Roy

Be sure you take the inner cable out and lube it with some lithium grease or the like.

Thanks Brian. My cable came in today. I coated it good with lithium grease as you suggested. Tightened both ends real good. Hopefully, this will do the trick.

Thanks for your response.
