Throttle Limiter and Emergency Stop Added

[Reid Welch]

Thank you again. Yes, it's your waterproof pot that I would want.
I'm familiar with pots in general from past work on antique electronics.
The usual carbon-on-phenolic don't much like to be soaked, ha ha.
Guess it should be conductive plastic or cermet.

The Currie mongoose throttle is said to be Hall effect.

Hi Reid

You can pretty much use what ever pot suits, is your throttle hall or resistive? if it is hall you will need a relativley high value, Fechter has covered this and it will need to go in the wiper not the feed.

The pot i used is this one, you should be able to get an equivalent one in the states, this one I chose as it is waterproof works even under water!

Here it is

That link appears to now be broken, can you post any details of the part used? I'm very eager to waterproof my throttle

Thanks for the link. I contacted these folks, and they simply wanted nothing to do with small one-off orders :-(

On the other hand, I did finally figure out what your original URL pointed to:
PE30 cermet pot,4K7 lin 20mm 3W (1885470, aka: PE30AM4.7K10%A)

I'm assuming you've had no issues in the rain with this?
