Jim C Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I need a hand throttle button, shaft and wire for my '36 Plymouth. I would even be interested in junky one that I could do repair experimentation on. My wire broke about 10" from the carb end,I am also interested in any 1936 Plymouth or Mopar parts you might have.

keiser31 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Are you talking about a choke cable? I have never seen a hand operated throttle cable on a 1936 Plymouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim C Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 The '36 Plymouth, like many other cars of that era has a foot-operated starter button. The starter button is engaged using your right foot thus making that foot unavailable for accelerator pedal use. Therefore, most cars with starter buttons have a means to open the throttle by hand when starting the car.The hand throttle in the '36 has the word "throttle" molded into the plastic button. The '36 Plymouth also has a choke button with the word "choke" molded into it. The button and cable are the same except for the words molded into them.The button is molded onto a steel shaft which in turn has the control wire crimped into it. My wire broke about 10" from the carb end. So now I have to try push on the gas pedal with my left foot while starting the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
