3W 157 throttle linkage
After taking a closer look at my 157 today, I noticed that the throttle butterfly valve has some funny geometry happening. When the engine is at WOT (or all the way closed...can't remember), the throttle arm that hte servo linkage attaches to is straight back....which probably wouldn't work with the throttle servo directly behind and below the engine. What have you guys been doing to get around this problem? i was thinking about manufacturing a cutsom arm and putting it on the motor, but if you guys have a better way of rigging it up, i'd love to hear about it.
Thanks. |

Re: 3W 157 throttle linkage
I remove the stock arm and put one of these on, pretty much do this on all my gas engines that do not come with an adequate arm

Re: 3W 157 throttle linkage
I've got a similar one on my other 3W motors.....but my builder for my 42%er built a special bent alum arm for this motor.
