ATV Throttle Controlled With Left Hand Thumb

ATV Throttle Controlled With Left Hand Thumb ATV S After mounting a 25 gal 12-volt sprayer on the back of his Honda ATV Ken Henderson Woodland Calif wanted to operate the spray wand using his right hand and couldn’t operate the throttle and the spray wand at the same time “It didn’t make sense to me to keep stopping to go from the throttle to the sprayer so I looked for an aftermarket kit to move the throttle on my Honda ” says Henderson “I found kits for other ATV’s online but none for mine I contacted my local dealer and they said that others have asked but no kit was available ” Henderson decided to move the throttle on his own He used an insulated clamp with a small curtain shade pulley and nylon cord fitted to a small piece of pvc that would fit his thumb He attached the cord to the throttle then through the pulley which is mounted to the handle near the throttle and drilled a small 1/8-in hole in the small piece of pvc pipe that fits over his thumb “It’s not jerky and works better than I thought it would for controlling the throttle I have used it 4 to 5 times now for spraying and it works great It took me less than 15 min to make at no cost using spare parts I had laying around ” says Henderson “Getting the clamp in the right position was the hardest part It works so well that I made a small kit of parts and took it to my local dealer and told them to give it to the first veteran that needed it ”Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Ken Henderson 21359 County Road 99 Woodland Calif 95695 ; kenpatrr@gmail com
