Ensure the engine is off and the shifter is in neutral. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Locate the throttle linkage connection point on the engine or remote control.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this bushing fits my specific engine serial number?

While the model and year ranges provided are extensive, the best way to guarantee fitment is to cross-reference the OEM part number (23-932481 or 8M0215006) with your engine's specific service manual or parts diagram. If your original part number matches, this component will fit.

What are the signs of a failing throttle bushing?

Common symptoms include a loose or "sloppy" feel in the throttle control lever, inconsistent throttle response, difficulty achieving full throttle, or visible cracking and disintegration of the original plastic bushing.

How often should this part be replaced?

There is no specific replacement interval. It is best to inspect throttle linkage bushings during regular maintenance. Replace them proactively if you notice any signs of wear, brittleness, or excessive play to prevent failure during operation.

Is any special tool required for installation?

No special tools are typically required. The bushing is designed for a press-fit. It can usually be pushed in by hand or gently tapped into place. A small pick or flat-head screwdriver can be useful for removing the old bushing.
