This throttle linkage caused me some issued the other day, it jumped off and left me with no accelerator, luckily this happened at home and I was able to quickly fix it. I realised in that instant at that really I need to do something better and more robust to stop this from occurring again. The old linkage was a 5mm diameter bit of aluminium bar, so very soft and the end links didn’t fit quite snuggly enough. So I purchased some stainless steel M5 thread bar and some M5 ball joints. I made up this replacement rod with ends.. That is not going to drop off I don’t think.. I hope!
We picked up some new big pots last weekend and so the other evening I got this one potted out. That little sprout on the left is going to require grabbing and transplanting soon too. There was another one that has not yet made it through the surface yet too.
