I'm converting a Honda GC160 engine from constant speed to "hand throttle"
I'm using the Honda part 16500-ZL0800 plate.
I think I have it on the engine correctly. If I do,the hand lever would need a rod to go across the engine to the governor / carburetor throttle lever.( the really long lever attached to the bottom of the engine)
How did you guys hook up the hand lever to the engine?
Also,did you use the new kill switch or keep the rotating kill switch?
What did you use for a twist throttle hook up?
Photos would really help.
Thank you.

Rob,
I remember that OldMiniBikes member rmm727 (ryan) posted some information on this on a thread last year some time. He's a good guy and I bet if he reads this he will be able to help.

Edit: He posted while I was posting. What did I tell you!!

Thanks Michael.

I would still like to find exactly how that is supposed to be hooked up. I wish someone with a GC160 or 190 with the remote throttle would post up their engine #'s or codes so I could source the correct way to do it. A pic with the fuel tank removed would be great as well.
