tecumseh throttle cable hook- up HELPPPP

[minibiketimmy]

HEY, minibikers...I have mounted a 5hp to my vintage mini. I restored it COMPLETELY and bought a twist throttle and came with a cable. I just have NO CLUE on how to install it to the carb or where to start. Also my chain keeps coming loose after I tighten and want to know how to make a chain tensioner. Any pics and.info would be SOOO GREATT.

Thankss...

Thanks notta, but I have a newer model 5hp. Idk if it varies in directions of making the throttle set.up...I'm still a rookie to some extent.

I figured out how to do the setup already but now this mechanism is stiff and doesn't really moved freely with the spring I purchased:

Wow, guess I am getting old. Can't help ya on that tgrottle set up.

Kill switch. Where was it hooked befor? Find the wire that was working as a kill switch and hook it to that.:shrug:
Or just ride half way from where you think it will run out of gas and turn around. It should shut off when ya almost get back.:laugh:

I just posted a pic of what was stiff ...nd the kill switch is connected to anything, just lo:shrugse.

It's "stiff" cuz that's a linkage for running a fixed speed. You'd want the linkage to stay put if it was on say a lawn mower etc. You have to drill the rivet out of the center, and take out the thin metal piece behind the linkage arm. Some have a wavy washer to give the linkage the right "stiffness". You can put it back together with a rivet, or a small machine screw with a nyloc net not quite tightened. Just connect a kill switch to the ground wire attached to the coil.

you need one of these. Tecumseh OEM Mini Bike Throttle Control Assembly

For the kill switch some guys put a ziptie on the plug wire... weather your kill switch works or not just in case it quits working

Thankss sooo much for the info guys, appreciate it.

 

[minibiketimmy]

Flat head Phil, wht coil does the kill switch connect to?, cause mine still works.

 

[buckeye]

Yeah, you need to change the throttle hook up to what jrz suggested.
There should be a single wire coming off your coil. You hood you kill switch to that. Or there is a male prong sticking out off you coil.
