Thumb throttle sticking in cold today - can I use silicon spray to lubricate?
I don't know what a silicone spray would do to the circuit if it got in there, but I don't think spray is the best thing to go with anyway. IMHOgeeeyejo1 said:Thumb throttle sticking in cold today - can I use silicon spray to lubricate?

Yes - a small shot of WD40 and no more sticking! I went out the next day in very cold temps (about 20 Deg F) and throttle was smooth as silk.mcintyretj said:Geeeyejo1, did the wd40 solve your sticking throttle problem? I have the same issue with one of my yescomusa.com kits. I call it the lazy persons cruise control. You have to learn quickly to work your thumb both ways. I suspected it stuck because of a weak or rusty spring but it looks like it is probably binding between the plastic parts. E-beach, thanks for the photos.
