The S1230-2 Control (Carb Heat) is a mechanical cockpit control cable used in aircraft to operate the carburetor heat system. It allows the pilot to manually control a valve that directs warm air from around the exhaust system into the carburetor intake. This helps prevent or remove carburetor icing, which can restrict airflow and reduce engine performance. The control is typically installed on the instrument panel and connected to the carburetor heat door via a push-pull cable mechanism.

Function:
Allows the pilot to activate or deactivate carburetor heat from the cockpit
Pull-push cable mechanism opens or closes the carburetor heat valve
Helps prevent or eliminate carburetor icing during flight
