Hi All,

Does anyone have a standard part number for a replacement pot for a PB-6 throttle box? I would love to have a part number from Mouser/Allied/Radio Shack etc... Anyone replaced thiers before?
Mine is giving me dead spots where instead of a smooth, linear throttle response, I hit spots that basically turn the throttle full-on and it makes things pretty 'hurky-jerky' (Technical term!)

Thanks!

they're custom made because they're 40 degree turn pots.

I've seen them the cheapest here:

Mine did the same thing in hot weather last summer. I replaced it with a bolt in replacement Hall throttle and changed the throttle type parameter in my controller (your controller must be able to use a voltage input). No problems since. They are available here (near bottom right):

Hi Guys,

Thanks! I didn't even think about the travel of the potentiometer and had completely forgotten about hall effect throttles. That makes much more sense for my situation, as I have the throttle under the hood. It is in a small plastic box, but I would not mind making it impervious to the elements completely and the Hall throttle will do that. Awesome suggestion! Thanks again!
