And if all else fails; the throttle shafts I've seen are not really exotic
pieces. Just a length of brass rod with some flats milled and a couple of
holes drilled and tapped. If you took the old one to a good machine shop,
I'd expect them to duplicate if for less than fifty bucks.

Wow, i looked on ebay, but i didnt think to check ebay motors. I think i
found a company about 80 miles from me that can get the throttle shaft. I
am going to take the old one to him wednesday and make sure it is the
same. If it isn't i will contact the guy on ebay and get him to measure
the butterfly to make sure mine is the same. I sure do appreciate your
help. I never even thought about ebay motors. Thanks again...

I have looked on Ebay with not much luck. A boat mechanic at one of our
marinas gave me an old carb he had laying around. The throttle shaft was
larger than the one i need. I will call around some more marinas this
week. Thanks for the help...

I have a 1995 Force 40 hp engine. Today i broke a throttle shaft in the
carburetor. Does anyone know where i can get parts for this carb?

Thanks for any help. tom

EBAY could be a good option.

Also

Find a boat shop in your area that has been around for a long time and
ask if they have any Force outboards in their bone pile.
