I am clueless on throttles, yet it seemed there were only two wires, and it should not be to hard to replace.
I took apart the old one; where the wires attach to wires on the frame, there seemed to be a connector; thought pulling it would remove the old throttle wire from connector, but instead now the wires that goes to engine are left with just the wires instead of the silver connectors.
Do I have to have a connector or can I just attach wire to wire and then get those caps?
Also, the part on the handlebar, that has the plastic which you push in the silver medal ball connected to the wire that goes to engine, do I thread that wire with the ball around the plastic part that has a grove?
I bought this bike for my son who is 24, and this then broke.
Am I being totally stupid in trying to do this myself? I am so poor right now, I thought it was worth trying.
