The throttle rods are hard to find most carb places will make you buy a whole card...,I got a whole carb for $50 my throttle rod was so worn had to replace it, ended up parting out both my carb and the one I bought plus a rebuild kit to get on every up and running. Thanks to my FIL I am back on the road and she starts right up. If you find someone who sells the throttle rods I would post it up as I am sure we are not the only folks looking for one.
