Thunb Throttle Assembly

[grpark20]

I recently yook apart my stock thumb throttle to get it all powder coated. I'm such an idiot for not taking pictures before disassembling. I need to know how to put the throttle back together. Also, do you have to keep the spring inside the thumb throttle assembly.....trying to save the thumb. I'll be adding Jeff's springs, fresh cable, and cascade extender. Pictures would be very, very helpful if anyone has them. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! That answeres most of my questions. Next info needed is do I have to run the spring and lever that the spring goes on? I read one post that said it is not needed unless you are running TORS. Is this fact or opinion?

Keep the spring in there. If you want it lighter, cut a coil or so off the springs in the carbs.

Keep the spring in. :thumbsup:

Ok.....I'm a dumbass.......I already tossed the spring. Will it hurt not to run it, or should I stop being cheap and buy another spring? I've heard of others not running it, but I want to do it semi-right.

I got the Cascade thumb throttle extender today. The directions state that you DO NOT need the spring if the TORS are deactivated. Hope it helps someone out. It's a quality looking piece too!!
