IBob Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 That's an unusual looking throttle setup, Mark: twin sticks and centre throttle, maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Communications Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hi Bob. thats the std setup but I cant see the throttle connecting rod. So i dont know. To my knowledge there are no other twin stick amateur built XL here in OZ except the Girlfriend and she had the twin operating rods. Mabel has twin sticks but a centre throttle this time though and again I have never seen a centre throttle version Sav here at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yep. The lever that attaches to the LH throttle connecting rod appears to have been removed. Also there is no sign of the RH carb throttle cable. It's a bit of a mystery. Here is the standard setup, the throttle cables being the lower ones in the pic, the upper ones are choke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
