I picked up a new basic MC throttle from a bargain bin several months ago with the intention of fitting it to my 076 in the same way as I have done for my 880.
Here was my previous 076 remote throttle.
It used a bicycle brake handle connected via a brake cable to a series of linkages made from a bike brake caliper and brake pad which pushed on the trigger.
Even though it worked very well one of the problems was the cable coming in from underneath like it was mean the saw could not be placed on its base without crushing the cable so that always meant working on the saw with the rear handle hanging off the side of the bench.
The other issue was the linkage was rather klutzy and produced quite a bit of brake pad or trigger wear.
I tried padding the brake pad with a variety of stuff but it was all worn away quickly by the trigger if the padding was too soft or the trigger was worn if the padding was too hard. The best padding was some moderately hard hydraulic hose but it was still wearing away the trigger and after milling about 40 logs I had to replace the trigger.
Here is the new arrangement which links directly onto the carby linkage.
It starts with replacing the exhaust cover screw (EC)with one that is half an inch longer.
Then bending up and adding bracket (B) I made my bracket out of stainless steel strap but you could pretty well use any metal.
Here's another view.
The MC throttle cable comes thru from the front top of the saw and the cable sheath stops at the bracket B while the cable passes through a half width full lengthwise slotted screw screw (cut slot with dremel) to meet up with and is locked to the carby linkage by locking bolt (B) which also has has a half length full width slot cut in it.
Final outcome is a much tidier arrangement and the saw can now put the saw down on its base.
