[C320-list] Fuel Cut-Off T-Handle Sticking

[Bruce Heyman]

Hi Jack,
I know you are asking about the shut off cable but I had a similar problem with the throttle.  In my case I found that there was a very small coolant leak directly above the high pressure fuel pump.  When I cleaned that up and lubed the shaft and cable end it became much easier to work.  If you can get to the ends of the cables and get some graphite based lube in there you might find it working much easier.
Very best,
Bruce

Any insights on corrective action steps to take to eliminate or reduce the heavy pull force needed to operate the fuel cut-off t-handle?
