23 lt longtail cut the tiller handle bar Lt will never be as fast as a service drive. Sd has gear reduction so it can turn a bigger prop and push more h2o. Lt is straight from engine so only thing you can do is increase rpms which decreases engine life

Re: 23 lt longtail cut the tiller handle bar yes, cutting down the handle will increase tiller torque.

Re: 23 lt longtail cut the tiller handle bar You can take a stock plastic throttle lever and ream it out with a dremel tool and make it work on the lt. I did it for a customer and he loved it.

Re: 23 lt longtail cut the tiller handle bar are you talking about the stainless throttle lever on mudbuddy's website? i dont see why you'd have to cut the handle for anything, unless if you REEEAAALLLYY wanted to have some kind of shorter throttle cable, which is just dumb.. dont shorten you handle, its a longtail..
