> buy one from a different brand of bike or make one. insert a spacer of some sort in the carb to keep limit how far the slide will open. probably a piece of brass or pvc pipe will work. needs to slide over the cable but inside the spring. on my kids 50 i just loosened the cable for awhile.

thanks

when I get it home, I will try the loosening of the cable first and see how that goes.

I kinda just want to teach then not to open the throttle all the way, but I also don’t want them wheeling the bike the first time and scaring them from doing it.

What’s the preferred way of teaching a kid how to ride a bike? I never had a bike or learned how to ride, so I have no idea. ☹
