Broken throttle trigger and housing

All I had to do was remove a handful of screws that fastened the housing onto the handle. Once removed, the broken part came out easily. I replaced the broken housing half, inserted the new trigger and spring. The angled tip of the throttle cable attached to the trigger easily. Then I tucked all the wires and switch back in place and reattached the housing to the handle....a piece of cake.

I disassembled the broken throttle assembly. I identified what was broken and ordered the new parts. I installed the new trigger assembly using all the parts that came with the replacement kit. The only tool I needed was a screwdriver.
