I'm at the 10:45 mark so I don't know if you figured it out yet but..... If you move the throttle cable over to the left side of the clip that holds it down to the linkage, you get more of a straight shot/pull when working the throttle. You can see at the MARK that you have a slight S Curve on the spring. Moving the throttle cable over to the other hold down position corrects that.

This is exactly what I was looking for. My twist throttle is touchy and the motor likes to go fast. Never been a fan of all or nothing with these, they get out of hand fast.

Thanks for this. I was debating getting a thumb throttle because I can see how that grip can be dangerous. Now just to add the torque kit and replace the valve springs.

Those grips come off easy with an air compressor

I have no return spring is that gonna work if the throttle cable is connected to the carb

Did you consider putting shock forks on when replacing the solid? Never priced them so I'm sure they'd be more than solids. After riding both, I know the front shocks are better off road.

I got em straight from Coleman. But honestly, If I had it to do over, I'd have got some CT200ex forks. Bolt right on and have shocks. Link for stock forks but you can ex ones from same site. shopping.na3.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.3546502/sc.27/category.19085/ctype.SS/SS.19085/.f

No you could just change the throttle without changing the hand brake he just wanted to change it so he did it at the same time.
