[QUOTE="user 10949, post: 312090, member: 10949"] I would take mine apart to look at the throttle system but the Varimax is a varible speed and won't be like 5 speed trans mount models that click. I would assume that the regular 5 speed (click)controls are based on a resistor. low speed = high resistance, full throttle = no resistance. the same way blower motor resistors work in a car. that is just a guess (maybe somebody here will know if it's true) but if that is the case, the throttle would be pretty easy to relocate with 6 wires... gave my good buddy youtube a go around again and found this, might give you an idea about steering too..
