Late last night on a deserted country road, suddenly going from 55mph to <5 mph; check engine light on -- I knew immediately what it was-- limp mode. When I finally got home, I read the MUD posts to see my next step for today. Disconnect battery terminal for 15 minutes. replace. That cleared the code and I started it up. Healed for the moment.
Next, a call to C Dan for the Lever Assy, Throttle 22060 50011. Less than $300 with delivery on Thursday in Maine. Now here's hoping . . . .
BTW my mileage is 155,000. The only warning was a slight deadness where my speed seemed like I had feathered the throttle a tad or foot slipped a little on the pedal. Just momentary slowing and then normal and minute later LIMP. I had two big hills to ascend on limp mode. When forward motion stopped (it had shifted down already) I put it in low range and crept up the hill, turtle speed but moving!
My advice to those who regularly go way off-road in cruisers with hi mileage. Bring a 22060 50011 in the spare parts kit. Steve
