camatv Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 here is my take on a stiff throttle.. clean the entire thumb throttle assembly, lube the thumb shaft. make sure the housing is sealed. lube the cable with a proper cable lubber dont use chain lube use either cable lube OR cheapo spray lube from walmart.. ( yes i said it). clean the carbs and the slides up clean the area where the slide goes extra well. check the slides for being either chrome plated or std non plated, as both were avaialble non chrome plated will grove out and stick realy bad. if after that you still think the throttle is to stiff sell the bike and go play video games. my wife's turdwagon has twin 38mm lectrons and she never bitches about the pull.

Schweet97Z Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 What about the Chariot Thumb Throttle? http://www.ebay.com/itm/280724648948?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camatv Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 how is the calbe routed? is it in the right spot? even a new cable should be lubbed. lube goes a long way in making things slippy slide when they dont really want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a moped that had a hard throttle, rerouted it and was 10x easier, same with clutch cable on my mustang, but I vote for the easier carb springs.
