Throttle arm/lever that connects from engine to carb snapped in half. Oh, mer 120. Replacement for that stinkin piece of metal is like $100. UNbelieveable. Any good recycled places to check instead?

Thanks!

Which bit do you mean?

If you mean #1, then yes, $92.52 is believable... It's a special casting....

OK.. find out why it snapped... There shouldn't be enough load on that to break it.... Something else is wrong... Cable adjustment, not setup with the right spacers... Find the reason it broke or you'll be breaking the new one too.....

I agree with Acris it should not have just snapped something is wrong somewhere. Then take the part to a welding shop and have it fixed, but find out why it snapped. Their just isn't that much pressure on that arm.

It goes to show as the pieces get smaller they get more expensive.
