I had the same problems with i believe the pull side. Order from yamaha, 3 times wrong part. Then I showed them the old one. Different part # Make sure that they order your parts for Silverado, if that's your model. By chance have u seen a reckless batwing install on a 1100. Thanks for your posts
Always enjoy your very informative videos. Hope you can help. I had my carbs rebuilt a year ago on my 03 1100. In replacing my throttle cables, I find that the throttle body will not budge. What can I do to loosen it? Thanks
I have an 09 vstar 1100 that the drum on the carb itself doesn't return. Ive backed it off and added an extra spring to help it return to no avail. Any tips or know where i can find a new spring set up?
I guess ill modify the old cable , i replaced the pull cable because that steel was frayed bad but the push cable seems to have alot of play , ill try to keep playing with the adjustment
I have watched a bunch of your videos and I was able to get a 650 that’s been sitting for 3 years back to life! After doing a test ride I’ve notice the throttle gets stuck (almost like a cruse control). Is this something that can be corrected by getting oil down inside the throttle cable?
I think you are like me and our handlebars are not stock. I also ordered cables which appear to be the right ones but they're short about a foot. I've been looking for the stock dimensions to the handlebars or the cables but can't find them.
I resently removed my carbs and reworked them. But the person helping me had started before I got there and when disconnecting the throttle cables took the nut off the carburator throttle holder and that made the spring unwond. now that we reassembled the carbs and put back on my throttle does not spring back in place. I try retighten the spring and put the throttle cables holder back on the carb. but that just made my throttle harder to turn and not spring back. Any help would be appreciated.
What would it cause it to die down while riding? Can’t idle without choke, can’t bump start, pick up coil is getting 200 ohm reading. I think it might be a clogged carb or something to do with fuel delivery. I bought a bike without knowing it had a fuel pump delete so I don’t know if that has to do with anything, I have the video showing the symptoms on my channel
@@retrotechandelectronics I thought so myself… but it ran fine for 10-13 miles before it complete died. Not sure if he gravity fed the carb before he sold it to me like that
I like how the clymer says to simply take the cables off at the top and use a tool.. those bastards don’t come off the throttle drum without first disconnecting them down below

loosen the adjusters, they may be binding up.
@@retrotechandelectronics Thanks for that. Where are the adjusters located. Thanks
This really helped me out, thanks!

Are you ever planning on doing a video on using your wide band? Do you have a bung for the O2 sensor welded in?
Yes.
Is the process much different for the 650?

Possibly. Try checking if the throttle cables bind whilst disconnected from the carbs too, and if not it could be maladjusted, that causes binding
I have ordered both cables twice from my dealer and they are also too long and aren't compatible!! What's the disconnect with these parts I wonder. 😒
Can it be done with the tank still installed ?
No.

My handlebars are stock, I just have 4in risers at the base. Back in the day, cables were readily available for this.
@@retrotechandelectronics ok thx for all the videos and information.
@@Chris-ul1rn you're welcome,
Thank you :)

I have several carb repair videos with no scenario when that spring need be untensioned for normal cleaning.
02 1100 front brake leaver,
No friction, in cable.
Show replacement step by step.
Cant find video anywhere on doing this.
The front brake….. has no cable…. It’s hydraulic… brake fluid. This level of repair isn’t for you. Take it to your local shop.

WHy would someone pull the fuel pump from this bike? Its not optional.
@@retrotechandelectronics I thought so myself… but it ran fine for 10-13 miles before it complete died. Not sure if he gravity fed the carb before he sold it to me like that
@@retrotechandelectronics I’m guessing it was a bobber project, for the fuel pump delete.
Impressive!!
Thanks.
OK video but I really wish we could’ve seen your process behind the brake lever.
Hey man I was just curious on which size jets go in which spot in the carbs ?
You could check out my carb rebuild video. I believe its posted there.
Bravo......
thanks!

Those manuals come close..... but not perfect.
@@retrotechandelectronics tell me about it, I destroyed a cable trying to pry it off the throttle drum lol
