Hi all,
Been reading these forums for a bit but really had nothing, (usefull), to add...but now I need some help so I am jumping in.
I have a Honda BF 15 (BAAL 1200708), and inside the handlebar there is a plastic gear that meshes with the throttle control(reel cable). Well. I was mucking around with it while it wasn't running and was forcing the throttle back and forth, (ok more forth than back), and I twisted a bit too hard and I lost a tooth to the gear...all the while my 7 yr old daughter was saying..Daddy don't force it...like you told about my zippers...don't force it....(be quiet kid!!)
Well w/out the missing cog/tooth in that gear it will not return to idle or low speed. I need to take a screwdriver to turn the reel cable, (with handlebar in an upright position), and manually reduced throttle.
Makes for a tricky docking maneuver to say the least.
I can not find the specific gear for sale, only the throttle grip or the entire handlebar assembly and I am not sure the throttle grip or handlebar assembly would contain the gear.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've called a few shops local and on the web but they can't seem to understand what I am talking about.
Also, tried search here on this forum but nothing came up...(in fact nothing at all came up when I entered Honda Outboard so I am sure I am doing something wrong....(who me...never!!)
Thanks so much in advance!!
