My buddy needs a throttle for a Grinch. Has anyone made any custom throttles for a Grinch? Can you just get a replacement throttle from Distortion?

we used jet ski thumb throttles for grinches. you can easily adapt a throttle cable to the carb on the winch. and then took a peice of pvc pipe the thickness of the jet ski handle bars about 6 inches long and attached the throttle to that and that way you can stand up and run it. the throttle cable is about 5 feet long. works really well.

Adam at Distortion found the part I needed. Big thanks to Distortion for solving our throttle problem.

It is a direct replacement for a grinch.
