wallfish 17,772 #3 Posted June 9, 2018 The old push/pull throttle cables have a twist lock. Turn to the right and they lock in position. Yours may have been replaced, it got stripped out or isn't turning. If you need a new one search for locking throttle control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Throttle cables are not cheap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,410 #5 Posted June 9, 2018 Your problem might be that the knob is spinning on the throttle control and not turning the lock. You can try glueing the knob, it may work. I just clamped a tiny pair of vice grips to mine and it makes a nice easy grip lever for locking and unlocking the throttle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
