What does it mean when your throttle cable is not working?
Along with this generic recommendation, engine performance can also be an indicator of cable issues. Poor full throttle operation may be a sign that the throttle cable has too much slack. An engine that is difficult to control or has an erratic idle may indicate that there is not enough throttle cable slack.
Where does the throttle wire go on a brushless controller?
Do you think the thick yellow throttle wire goes to the brack-hi cable and the thick red one goes to the lock cable? The way that most brushless controllers are made is that the red “Lock Cable” wire connects to the battery pack’s positive wire to turn the controller on.
How can I test voltage of throttle wire?
I would start by contacting the “Lock Cable” wire directly to the red “Power Cable” wire to bypass the switch in the throttle, that way the throttle switch is out of the equation for testing. If that does not work then I would test the Voltage of the battery pack. The controller’s label states that the battery pack needs to be at 43 Volts or above.
Can a throttle be connected to a battery pack?
The battery pack Voltage test should be done with the controller on and throttle engaged. The controller’s phase cable wires should go to the same color phase cable wires on the motor, I do not recommend connecting them to the battery pack wires because they should be for hall sensors in the motor.

What are the signs of bad throttle control?
Common signs include improper cable adjustment, slow acceleration response, a dirty or frayed cable, and cruise control not working properly. 1. Improper cable adjustment and slow acceleration response 2. Dirty or frayed cable 3. Cruise control not working properly
How do you check the throttle valve cable?
Step 2: Check the cable at wide open throttle. Have your helper sit in the driver’s seat and push the gas pedal to the floor. You will see the throttle linkage move all the way in one direction. This is called wide open throttle (WOT). Now with the throttle wide open, test the tautness of the throttle linkage.
What causes the throttle response to be delayed?
Improper cable adjustment and slow acceleration response When there is excess slack or the cable is too tight, this can cause intermittent delays in throttle response relative to pressing down on the accelerator pedal. This can also result in the opposite effect as well, in that the excess slack can create a delayed throttle return response.
