Cjwv1975 96 #1 Posted July 11 Snapped the little claw on throttle lever assembly that holds cable. Any idea on fix or replacement? I.rigged something up but it doesnt go get to full rpm and the lever slowly creeps back to idle. Any ideas? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 60,348 #5 Posted July 12 That is what I was thinking about when I suggested a small hose clamp. Run the clamp around the cable conduit and the piece of steel sticking down and tighten the snot out of it. I once attempted to brave the conduit to what was left of the bracket but the conduit became brittle and broke off a few weeks later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you’ll need to replace the entire control or at least the last inch or so of the holder. if you can fabricate a copy of the end with the clinching jaws, you can attach it to the existing control with a couple of small bolts.

wallfish 18,242 #7 Posted July 12 (edited) Easier to weld a piece on but you can bolt a piece on too You can find all kinds of small brackets at the hardware store to modify Edited July 12 by wallfish 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
