Just got it firing!
Hi, it's me, the guy who is eternally confounded by the Lario throttle. (Would you believe the rest of the bike has actually been performing fine? I'm thankful for that.) So, once I got it through my head that not all bikes happily start rolling with zero throttle, I had a pretty good time! Then, this happened:
(This is with the right-side instrument panel removed.) Hopefully you can see what's happening here; the throttle tube is supposed to have two "hooks" (for lack of a better word) that catch onto the ends of each throttle cable, pulling them up but not letting them fall all the way out. You can see that the hook on the left has snapped clean off; this means that while the tube can grab and pull one cable-end fine, the other one is never going to be engaged with the throttle tube.
My first thought would be to get a new one; I know it's part number 65603800. However, I've spent some time searching around and they all seem to be sold out.
I'm wondering what my options are here. Is there any other throttle tube for another bike that might fit here? Have I got the part number wrong? Or is my only option going to be to replace everything on the right handlebar with something aftermarket?
In the meantime, I am letting the bike run for a while every week just to keep more problems from happening, and scooting around on my other bike (a Hyosung GV250, which is as close to the opposite of this bike you can imagine without getting a new Super Cub).
