PatPux Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I needed to change my throttle cable recently as it had become stiff and wasn't returning cleanly. Whilst doing it I decided to rectify what I thought was poor routing at the throttle end where the straight cable adjuster would bind on the top of the starter motor. I ordered this http://www.venhill.co.uk/Cables_-_Components_Kits/Universal_Cable_Kits/U01-4-100-A_UNIVERSAL_THROTTLE_CABLE.html and this http://www.venhill.co.uk/Cables_-_Components_Kits/Cable_Components/Ferrules_-_Bends/FB3C_FERRULE_BEND_ASSY_CHROME_-_YAMAHA__.html This is what it ended up like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatPux Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yes, that was the same one I had. But when the plate into which the adjust fits is at the angle shown in your photo the cable is not "aimed" at the carburettor arm, ie the cable exits out the end of the adjuster at an angle instead of straight. So to get that line better you have to rotate the plate and then the adjuster fouls on the starter motor. By putting the curved adjuster on I can rotate the plate to get the better line without the adjuster hitting the starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ahhh, got you. Was it causing you a problem then? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatPux Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I replaced the cable because it was kinked and generally knackered which was making it tight, but I thought I'd try and improve that exit while I was at it. I think you have it, but this what I was trying to say about the adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
