Thanks for the vid. Very helpful that you demystified how this throttle works. Particularly the up/down screw way and plunge way. On my crt23 I have thought that this throttle is bound to fail at some point. It just seems to me a convoluted way to achieve a staged/fixed throttle position. Anyhow in anticipaton of that fail I will acquire a spare cable that you have kindly nominated.
@wayneruckley7346 Thanks, we did think about switching to a locking lever system but for the sake of what most people would have and thinking maybe an aftermarket would be better quality. We decided to give the same design another shot.
@@TheJBros520 As a result of pursuing purchase of the cable you referenced I have learnt that the plunge is for fast throttling and the screw for fine tuning. As you have said before the function of the channel is to replace a 'manual' thks.
Well the same thing happened to me today. Machine kept stalling through inadequate throttle. Fortunately the mechanism was not broken just seized. Some water dispersant and lubricant into the mech solved that problem. As a result I now prefer the twist means of throttling referred to as fine tuning but for me easier and more precise. But the other thing I found which was probably a contributing factor was that the flange which attaches to the muffler had come loose and was directing the exhaust to the body rather than the exrenal flange which prevented proper exit of exhaust gases.Now corrected.
@@wayneruckley7346 Thanks for the exhaust info. I will check mine. I forgot to mention in the video that the old part I had shown, I had used carb cleaner on those because they were so gummed up.
Hoppes gun oil would work well. Also, I wonder if a person just pushed the button and pulled up or pushed throttle down, rather than spin the throttle if that would prevent breakage?
DRAT! I was going to "fix" my gummy throttle ... HOWEVER!!!! I did not realize that you had to disconnect the cable at the engine, and in the course of pulling the cable ever upward, I pulled it apart!!! ANY ways, since I now see the mechanism, I realize that water is the culprit ... the entrance was greased, but the lock ring compressed the seal that kept water out ... if you "unlock" it to adjust throttle, you remove compression from the beveled washer, and the grease and water "coagulate", creating a sticky mess. As soon as I find your link to a replacement cable, I'm going to order it, lube the housing with plumber's silicone grease AND keep tension on the knurled lock ring to compress the washer/seal (or just keep it under a tarp, which is a pain b/c rain comes with a forecast 07% chance around here) ...
I got some numbers I think this is what the flow is. Max pressure 25 Speed Max 3000 Volumetric Eff 92 Inlet 36 Outlet 30. What I think all this means is 16 mpa/gpm. This is based on finding the pump I believe we have and cross checking the stats and info of other skids

@907sb8 Very true but probably just a cheaper faulty part and I may have abused mine. I did the twisting more. Good thoughts.
8 Minutes in is new part

Thanks for info, I will have Jax link the part if you did not see it in the video.

Unrelated question...do you know the flow rate of the auxiliary hydraulics on this machine?
I got some numbers I think this is what the flow is. Max pressure 25 Speed Max 3000 Volumetric Eff 92 Inlet 36 Outlet 30. What I think all this means is 16 mpa/gpm. This is based on finding the pump I believe we have and cross checking the stats and info of other skids
Take this as a guide, Please! Educated guess.
@TheJBros520 thank you, I appreciate your looking into that.
