  • Throttle handle locks at 3/4 open

    1989 90 ETLF, running fine, but as I increase the power, the throttle handle locks at 3/4 speed. The unlock bar on the throttle handle must be depressed to move the throttle back. Searching the forum, I found a similar post, 6-18-2013, suggesting it could be a worn spacer, but did not say definite. Any Ideas? I am planning on taking the 703 con*****er apart in a couple of days in search of the problem.

    I would check that little white half moon shaped plastic part just behind the handle.\

      Hit it right on Rodbolt17!

      That was it Rodbolt17.
      The plastic semi-circle locking device was broken, causing the throttle
      to "lock" when it reached the broken part.

      Thanks,

        one may think I have seen that once,maybe twice .
        at least its a cheap part and an easy fix.
        good luck.
