Alex, Robert is correct - the Hummer/165 of these years are totally manual - you twist it on and it stays on just where you set it. You want it to slow down, twist the throttle the other way. NO spring-back. Harley big twin and K/Sportster bikes of the same years are the same. I'm not sure if I'm historically correct, but I think the "spring-back" throttles started with the "Limey" (British) bikes of the mid 1950's. All Hummer-series bikes through 1966 are manual control. Dave ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- these don't go to zero like a dirt bike, kinda like cruise control. this is pre-osha engineering. you open the throttle, you close it ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I just put my throttle together. On my project 55st. New cables and newly rebuilt carb. I greases all the moving parts at the handlebars before putting it back together. The throttle sticks. It won't spring back to no gas when I let go. Any suggestions? |
