the handle will go up when you are running. whenever im at idle i just let the prop sit all the way down |

I had the same problem on mine i took the old handle off and made a new one out of 3/4 iron gas pipe i used a pipe bender to shape it the way i wanted and put some support brackets on it i will take a pic and post it when i get a chance btw it came out looking like a z it works 1000 times better then the old one though |

here is a pic before i put the braces on it i ran a piece of flat bar about 3/4 wide from the throttle down to the bottom bend and two more from there to the mount plate but i hope this just gives you an idea i will try to get a better pic of the finished product for ya |
