The metal bar connection the the accelerator to the throttle cord broke in my drive way just now... How can I replace this??
Thanks, Hunter

find an older carb to steel that part off of.

It's the piece that actually connects the pedal to the cord. I can't seem to find it on any websites. Thanks

I've never seen carb "parts" for sale. You're gonna have to canabilize another carb, or buy a whole one.

hunter's talking about the attachment pint on the cluster like this:

I think you'll need to replace the cluster itself, hunter.

"point", not "pint"

Thanks Jason, that's it exactly!

perhaps modify a roller pedal?

A 2" hex bolt and lock washer works great. Be sure to tighten it enough. May have to drill just a little bitter hole. Inexpensive.
