Broken Throttle Trigger

[MNBEEF]

Last trip of the season last year I broke the cheap plastic throttle trigger off my Eskimo. I could order another plastic trigger but am worried that it will brake again. Anyone use a metal bike brake for something like this or think of any reason why this won't work?

my brother returned three of those to FF because of that problem

With out looking at it I'm thinking if the plastic didn't break the carburetor linkage might have broke. If you hook up something else make sure its adjusted so you cant put to much tension on it or another part that might break. Squeezing the trigger beyond a certain point won't drill your hole faster.

I used one, worked fine, as long as the cable has the same end on it that the brake lever uses
