Accelorator Cable Broken
netsurfer802
I had just paid $130 to get my scooter carb cleaned. Hardly drove it
and I was at an intersection and as I tried to rev it forward I heard
a snap on the side of the handle that I use to rev it forward. I
believe that the accelerator cable that connects the twist throttle on
the handlebar to the carburetor may have broke at the handle bar side.
Now, I'm not a mechanic. What's involved in fixing this? What tools
are required?
Thanks in advanced for any helpful response.

It would be easier to help you if we knew what kind of
"scooter" you're talkin' about. But, lacking that information, it's
usually just buy a new cable, grab some lube, a screwdriver or two, &
a couple of wrenches. You may need to pull the gas tank (depends on
what "scooter" we're talkin' about), you'll need access to the carb, &
you'll have to open the twist grip.

You *believe*?! Their web site shows the current models as 4
stroke, & I ain't gonna search any further for you. The web site also
has a tech help number you can call.
OTOH, your posts (about a Chinese scooter to a Harley
newsgroup) indicate you might be better served by taking it back to a
licensed mechanic.

I had to look. And yes, they make MANY(if not most) 2 stroke engines.

But the fact that this gmailing mental midget doesn't know what he
has... well, the hell with this spamming troll.

Me thinks he should work on it himself WITHOUT the manual, so that he
eventually winds up being a fancy hood ornament for a city bus.

I really hope that wasn't a leather soled size 13! Dufus. Just pull
it out and sit in the back row for awhile.

In your case the only two tools are required, a cell phone and a credit
card. Try anything else and your will ultimately be forced to rely on these
eventully anyway. Save yourself the grief, phone a friend.
