So, I am literally ready to add gas and start the bike. But, I broke the throttle ear/tab on the carb off and I cannot connect my linkage! And believe it or not I can't afford a new carb setup.
Does anyone have a set that can be donated or even the throttle side carb itself? I really need some help from the forum.
Here is what I am talking about:

Couldn't you take 2 large washers (at least wider than the broken ear) and cut a slit in them so that it will slide over the cable and tighten the bolts?
IDK, at least to get it enough for testing?
What about JB Weld? lol
I agree on the fix suggestion. I would use both the bolts and washers, combines with JB weld. I have an air compressor that has a quarter JB welded over a hole, that holds 50PSI on an almost daily basis ( granted the quarter is pointed toward the wall, just in case :thumb:)

I agree, especially if just temporary for testing. but we all know how those temporary fixes end up being permanant solutions
I really really wish I could help! :cry: Can that part be bought off ebay or something. If it can PM me!
