ECoS ESU 50200 throttle

[Ian Fisher]

Has anyone had an issue with a throttle seemingly going dead?

 

I hope that we have just knocled something off as we had a good session getting used to it on Saturday and returned to have a further trial and at some point we realsied that the left throttle wasnt lit with its blue light...

 

hopefully its something simple?

Sounds like a fault on the throttle itself or possibly a dry joint. Suggest you try posting on the ESU forums:

Whoever registered the controller should have the log-in. If not register it and get a log-in.

From your post, it sounds like your ECoS is newly acquired. If it was bought new very recently, take it back to the dealer who sold it to you and ask for it to be replaced. If it's several months old, but you bought it from new, then you should be able to get it repaired for free under ESU's 24 month warranty. You will need your proof of purchase to show that it is less than 24 months old. If it's more than 24 months old, then you will have to pay to get it repaired by ESU. They give prices for the most common items on their website.

 

If it is more than 24 months old, you could try opening it up to check that all the wires to the throttle are pushed fully home. Don't open it if it is less than 24 months old, or you will invalidate the warranty.
