THROTTLE UP
I spent the day looking over the old solid rod throttle setup that has been badly worn in my 601hd
but it works
I was hoping someone might have the setup for the newer throttle cables I need double throttle controls inside for training whats the hookup look like?
I presently have two of spruces twin cable throttle controls made for the rotax but not sure how to connect both to the throttles levers.nice a clean

This was suggested by a friend. I haven't purchased it yet. Apparently it combines two controls into one cable and works quite well. I'm not sure the description actually says this properly. But my friend has actually used the device and liked it.

On my HD I jacked around for 2 months trying to figure out how to get my geometry just right with the ACS cable controls. I lubricated, gently arched the cables, tried every which way to make them work. They looked real nice, bud didn't work for Sh@#%. I cut mine up, used the nice black cap and made two rods. They work, and they dont jam up. Reliability is was my main concern. Food for thought: It doesn't matter how reliable your engine is, if your throttle cable jams up. I hope you can get yours to work, but don't feel like a failure if they don't! I just used two rods. so I have dual throttle.
