2002 220 carb cap

Post by patreilly »

My 2002 220 carb cap's pipe is broken where the threads begin. The pipe is not separate. That damn cap assembly is $50. What is the best fix for that cap. I bought a Moose throttle cable thinking it would be complete with the pipe. I have never seen a more completed throttle cable assembly where it enters the carb!

Few things you could do. First would be to attempt to cut new threads on the piece of the tube that is still on the cap. Second is what I did when mine broke at the base where the pipe enters the cap. I just bought a generic PWK cap (they are the same for all sizes). It comes with a short pipe that doesn't bend, but there was plenty of room to run the cable in. Had to adjust the extra cable slack out at the cable adjusters but it worked fine. Third you could hunt ebay for one, or a donor carb.
