Thanks for the reply. I'll check the cable running to the diverter. At first I thought you misunderstood my post, but I see you caught my meaning. Yes my knob continue to the FULL position if the knob is at the 12 o'clock, or more position??

PS. Did you buy your orange Skymaster from "Skymaster Center" in S.C.? If so I looked at that one before buying local.

Hey there Bill.

So my follow up question to you is does it spring from the mid point to full hot when you are sitting or just when you are flying? If you look at the mechanics one would think that with the cable friction as well as the knob/gear (in the back of the knob there is a gear which turns another gear which moves the cable) friction that it would not move all by itself. If it only does it when you are flying, maybe it is ram air pushing it??

Yes I did....not the best experience I have had. Was disappointed that I ended up doing more work trying to get the seller to sell the thing than the broker did. But that is a story for another time.

Yes while flying and yes I think it's something to do with ram air? I did check the gears on the heater knob. It maybe that I loosened up that knob right after buying the plane, while doing the initial Annual I found the knob would not rotate so I lubed it up with a spray grease. Sorry to hear your problems with your purchase!
Regards.
