Stuck throttle and runaway train!

[cycledude]

LOL, what a blast this little thing turned out to be.
The throttle cable got stock and I could not get it to release the throttle control while riding around the neighborhood, now I have tested the reliability of the breaks and know they are working fine for sure!

Can you say "kill switch".

Can you say "kill switch".

Looking for a good one, used, or brand new in the "quality and dirt sheap" category (good luck to me).

btw the clutch bell with the roller you are using in your build, do you have the part numbers? Are they Staton? Will you be using the Staton cluth for the 50cc honda?
Maybe I should post this query in your thread.

Wow, I have to remember this thread for all those people who ride killswitch commando and say it's unlikely the throttle will ever get stuck on. Glad you're okay cycledude. Thanks for sharing!!!

I have a kill switch with a Staton set-up, but am aware of where the choke is, wouldn't be as quick, but probably quick enough. Is this how you normally stop your engine?

I just touch the end of the wire to the frame or engine, ive been thinking of extending it forward to the handlebars and making contact with something there.

Auto parts store. The AutoZone near me had a variety of toggle switches for 4 bucks.
