Cougar Throttle Problem Need Part or Advice - 03/03/11 01:46 AM
Hello All,
Recently, I've been experiencing a problem with my Cougar throttle. The unit no longer returns to idle (it settles in at about 10 to 20 percent throttle). To fix the problem I have to restart the unit after about every 20 to 30 minutes. I suspect the problem is related to the throttle pot (my throttle is about 5+ yrs old). So, I am wondering if someone has a spare throttle potentiometer or can point me in the right direction for a replacement. I heard somewhere that TM no longer has spare parts (or something of the sort). I'm also willing to explore getting one of the Hall sensor upgrades if it is cost effective. I am also entertaining any other solutions that can fix the problem.
My system specs are as follows:
Intel E6850, w/ 4GB RAM, Win7 32bit -- As stated previously the issues recently started, so that info may be irelevant. Any help is appreciated.
