R Ya Kidding Me???

[acupajoe]

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....

That the one....Casting in what? My snapped...but then again everything has its weak points I suppose. Just when I though..great now I can start spening money on the "fun stuff"...BAM or should I say "Snap"

Thanks for the quick response!!!!

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.....

Odd for it to break, maybe it was a bad one from the beginning.

Parts are sky high. I've already learned boats are no different than any other hobbies $$$$$$.

They have the best online prices I have found so far. Good service 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.
