[C320-list] Fuel Control Device Locking wire

[FRANK YASKIN]

   That is a safety wire, designed to keep curious and untrained hands
   from fooling with the fuel metering.

   On the Yanmar 3GM30F “Fuel Control Device,” there is a braided wire
   (not electrical) that goes from one cap screw (to the left of the fuel
   injector and to the right of the throttle lever) to another cap screw
   that is about 5 inches below it. Can anyone explain what this set-up is
   for? I’ve attached a photo but I don’t think photos can be posted here.
   I had a slight leak from the upper screw and replaced the copper
   gasket. I need to replace the wire to do this.
   Thanks,
