I am looking in to the MCFARLANE Vernier-assist dual throttle for my ROTAX 912ul. I believe the part # is MCTV0005D048. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? I would appreciate any feedback both positive or negative.

I have this exact model/part number. It is a quality setup, I have enjoyed it for 80 hrs now . I use the vernier feature for small adjustments on taxi and cruise.It was a good improvement from my older thicker cable setup that I had to keep the friction lock pretty tight in order to keep settings.

Very nice! I missed out on that one...
I also have the mcfarlane vernier assembly. I love it.
Follow the recommended instructions for install so that you don't pull the throttle cable out of its sheath, this is a small but fixable nightmare. The vernier assembly uses a set of springs and loose fitted roller bearings and if you pull the throttle handle out during install the bearings and spring become disassembled. Finding them might be a challenge, but there is a Youtube video for the reassembly.
Just don't disassemble it during install like I did and you will be fine.
Thank you guys.For your feedback. Pulled the trigger this morning. Looking forward to smooth throttle control,

Thanks for bringing this up as I have been trying to find a control like this for a while. I have always been lurking but never post but have built and been flying my 4-1200 912S for 14 years. Just finished up about 40 hrs of work on this years inspection. After 14 years many things needed attention.
I made a short test flight yesterday and love that throttle. I was able to set my idle a little lower and use the vernier to keep idle where I wanted it. I had always been pulling on the knob before on final to keep the rpms down.
I also replaced the battery with an Earthx it seems to crank 2x faster and weighs nothing. Also rewired the coils and engine harness so I could use the 6 plus 6 soft start module. I only used 1 and start on it and bring in B after running. My original 6-4-1 modules still working so I changed the connectors on them so I have a spare in my tool kit. If any one needs info on this I have it including where to get the connectors and pins at a great price.

Same feelings here, I bought my 1994 model IV-1200 a few years ago, it had the 912 with Bellcrank throttle, could not ever balance consistently, so that it would stay balanced, last winter I changed the engine mount to the slightly beefed up improved one, and did all hoses etc, and put in that Mcfarlane throttle cable, did it and set up as instructed, and love it, works great, smooth, consistant and reliable, worth every penny!!
I'm about to purchase the McFarland throttle to replace my old 92 kitfox 4 speedster throttle vernier with the threaded rod and small steel ball on the inside.

Is this the correct part? Anything else I need to get for this to work?

That part number has cable ends.
The cable ends go into the bing 64 carb throttle arm cable bolt attachment.
