this is my first build and i am happy with it but i am having problems with the twist throttle.
i have a black horse engine. mounted to a huffy mtn bike(very tight fit)
i have the engine running and breaking it in. at first I could not get the engine to turn over because the kill switch seems to be hindering it so i removed it fromt he circut. now the main problem is the throttle.
it is essential non working. I twist and it seems to pull but doesn't do anything. at the time I am riding it I have to adjust the speed adjusting the lever on the carborator. you can imagine while moving this to be a very dangerous practice. since it is a simple pull action device, i cant seem to figure out why it is not working. i will tell you that once i get the carb set in the sweet spot, it seems to climb in acceleration. i turn it back down as to not affect the break in period. still on the first tank of gas.
i assume the throttle is to work much like a motorcycle throttle.
i have searched on here for a week but cant quite find a simialr answer.
the throttle is in there meaning the wire is atached but it seems to really not move. once i take it apart, it seems to move but the cable inside the sheth seems to do very little. when i twist it nothing happenes. it seems the cable is pulling as the cable gets tuant. but unsure. i was thinking the cable might be too long for the application. but unsure if that is it to shorten it.
i have been working on this bike fro three weeks, and last weekend getting it running after a lot of effort
i am close to a daily rider(and only means of transport) i know it is goign to be something simple too. personally i would like a lever you pul to adjust the speed but that is just me.
thanks for the help in advance
