Throttle questions

gguuyy · Nov 20, 2013

I got a new engine for my kart. It's a gx200 and I don't know what parts i need to change the throttle lever to spring action and to connect it to the throttle cable. Maybe there's a kit I can get? All info is appreciated and thanks for all the help so far everyone

So could you elaborate as to what "spring action" means? Perhaps a pic of the Carb area aswell.

there are some posts about the throttle linkage around, just take a look around.

or watch this video for example:

Have a look in the FAQ section of the forum at the helpful links sticky. There are several threads dealing with throttle hookups

The engine has a lever that controls the throttle. I need to connect the throttle cable to the lever and a spring to return the throttle to the idle position when I let off the pedal. That's what I meant by "spring action". I believe I have it figured out now so thanks for the help and my kart should be done in a few more days so ill put some before and after pics up soon as its done.

If you look at the link I posted, you will see at least five examples of what you want to do

I have step by step pictures in one of my old threads, I can link it for you after work.

Have a look at this post; there are a few points where you can see how the cable attaches to the throttle control. Just remember to slightly release the nut on top of the throttle control
