Featuring a vast improvement over the stock lever component, this pedal upgrade provides a new solution to the obsolete single lever design. The old single lever arm gets twisted, warped from the carburetor return spring and from the applied foot pressure at acceleration.\u00a0 As the single lever twists out of alignment, it also bends the guide rail on the flat pedal.\u00a0 Here is the modern permanent fix to solve this problem…<\/p>\n

You will get smoother acceleration from the greater strength and rigidity that comes from the twin-lever design.\u00a0 This eliminates the stress of lever failure and replacement. Re-positioning of the twin-lever arm provides better alignment of the throttle cable into the throttle tube, minimizing stress on the cable and attaching s-hook for immediate response. You will no longer have to replace this lever or worry about failure during a critical moment of use.<\/p>\n

NOTE:\u00a0 Chinese-made knock-off parts are now found on the market.\u00a0 Exercise caution as they appear to be similar at first glance but are drastically different in quality and workmanship.<\/span> This page<\/a> explains further.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

The twin-lever action (the original “Box” design) in the X-Celerator Speed Wheel is laser cut, stamped, and welded together to form a strong, rigid, precision-made part that works extremely well.<\/span> A longer CNC-machined stainless steel pivot pin is part of the upgrade kit, providing a strong and smooth base for the twin-lever arm’s action.\u00a0 The rear stop tab on the X-Celerator’s twin-lever arm can also be trimmed for carburetors requiring more travel (see note below).<\/p>\n
