The black zip-tie fixed the failure point and the safety wire is just insurance against some suspicious looking, old black plastic that will eventually fail.
And that is what happened to me previously…it wasn’t WOT…instead it was stuck at 5K RPM. Same this time at 5K RPM, but the cable is zip-tied to the mounting point.
