[Public-List] Throttle lever tension

[Michael Connolly via Public-List]

Bill, 
I am not certain about your set-up but normally the bolt which is the pivot for the lever can be tightened to adjust the tension. Usually there are wavy washers between the components which apply pressure thus friction to the system.  If your unit is non-adjustable then Michael Grosh's solution is workable, but the friction caused at the cable clamp will result in premature wear of the cable housing.

Subject: [Public-List] Throttle lever tension 

Hello everyone, 

This season my throttle cable on #233 seized up.  I replaced it with a new one but now there is almost no tension when moving the throttle lever so it moves too easily.  I thought that there should be some tensioning adjustment on the lever mechanism but I cannot find any. 

Has anyone had this problem and does anyone have any ideas of how to increase the throttle lever tension a bit? It does not seem to move on its own but will with the lightest brush pass.  I rigged an aluminum guard several years ago to eliminate accidentally knocking the lever but with the new cable, a pant leg brushing past can move it. 

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
