Throttle/kill switch question

[440truc]

Can someone tell me the purpose of the micro switches under the throttle lever??

If you let off the throttle and it sticks, for whatever reason, both those switches will be closed at the same time and it will kill the engine.

Correct. Also if the throttle is stuck open once the sled is off it will not restart.

So pretty much just a safety thing, mine was acting up and i just put it back together with a new cable extension, i guess i have to adjust it!! thanks guys..

worn out?

I have found that mine seem to act up when the sled has a lot of miles on it. I dis-abled it on my last sled when it did this, I will probably do it to my current sled this summer. It is nice to not have that safety BS causing problems, nothing like trying to maneuver around something and having the sled stumble instead of going..........and getting stuck or whatever....
