Consumer Product Review - The Simple Throttle Thumb Vehicles Which Use It And General Safety

By Shanna McNeil


Finding a consumer product review is about as easy as finding a tree in the forest. Pick up a magazine, newspaper or just search the net. Pretty much anyone can do them. This does not mean that they will be good reviews from real people though. Good reviews have a few things in common. They compare and contrast the item as well as offering an honest assessment of it. Let's take a look at the thumb throttle.

A throttle thumb or thumb throttles as some people call it, is a device common to many motor driven devices. These devices run the gambit from utility devices such as a chainsaw or weed eater, to recreational vehicles such as snowmobiles, ATVs, jet skis and scooters. Regardless of what they are, they do share some common characteristics.

This is a device used for controlling the rotational speed for motors or engines. It is usually used by the right hand or thumb. The device is generally pushed up or away from the user's body. This will have the effect of gradually increasing the rotational speed for the motors or engines. When you then release it, the return spring pulls it back to its starting position effectively slowing your device down.

Thumb throttles are most common in a snowmobile throttle, ATVs, jet skis and scooters. These vehicles are often subject to harsh conditions. Salt water, mud and ice are never good for helping to keep things running at peak performance. It is ok to have fun with them, as long as when you are done you do a little preventive maintenance protecting yourself and those around you.

After each excursion clean and wash the vehicle so there is no dirt and grime left on it. After this, take a look at the down checking it out to guarantee it is attached tightly without any flex. The outer sheath getting louse and causing excessive flex is a common problem for these devices.

Check your throw and action thus ensuring they are snug and reliable. This will involve nothing more than checking the throttle so it is loose and will not stick or bind. This ensures that you won't get hurt by it not releasing the gas.

Move it back and forth and follow the cable down to the carburetor as far as you can go. If you have any lightweight oil like 3 and 1 or 30 weight put a little in a dropper. Put a little oil on the cable and work it back and forth so it is ready for your next outing.

A throttle thumb or thumb throttles as some people know them by, are great devices are easy to use and simple to understand. With their short throw they are infinitely adjustable so anyone can use them with success. Considering their humble beginnings with the lowly lawn mower they have come a long way. By keeping yours clean and in good working order it is sure to take you as far as you want to go as well. And so ends the consumer product review on thumb throttles for different types of vehicles.
