Sensors for Thumb Throttles
« on: March 07, 2013, 10:06:46 AM »
Hi all,

Has some one tried to replace sensors in the Thumb Throttle?  What sensors are used there?

My throttles fail very often, so instead of buying a new one each time, I'd like to replace just the sensors (the part which fails).

Thank you

Yup I have replaced them with those Ebay sensors.
But I have removed the the Chinese sensors and installed a Honeywell quality sensor.
Because I like the idea to have quality components hahaha :)

Do you remember where you bought them? Nobody sells them on the eBay...

I have bought from my country ( The Netherlands).
I don't know where you live?

Maybe can try search in your country webshops?

Do you know how to test these testers - whether they are in a working or failure condition? Thank you

You mean testing the sensors?

It's simple I just hook them up to 5V power.
Took a magnet and hold it nearby the sensor and the output should change :)

Thanks! So, what's difference between the motor and throttle sensors? Is the first one latch and the second one is linear?
