I have a 1999 yamaha rt 100 and I just got a new throttle cable but I threw out the cable assembly like an idiot but this vid helped a lot I didn’t know how to take it out and stuff
Great video! Any tips on routing that can take some slack out of cable It’s brand new cable pieces and it has bunch of slack and that makes no sense to me. Yours looks great and u didn’t have to really adjust at top that I saw.
If the throttle has some play in it, there is the in line adjuster near the throttle housing end and also on the top of the carburetor. If the black cable is long, compare the routing to some factory images on google. I once made a routing mistake where the cable runs through the forks/behind number plate. Hope that helps.
Got a new carb. Went to run the cable through the carb and connect it. It seems i do not have enough cable. I bought this bike used. Kind of wondering if it is not an OEM part. Seems like cable it way too short
I ran into this one time. It turned out I router the cable wrong. Google an oem yamaha photo of the pw50 to confirm you routed the cable correctly from the handlebars down to the frame.
I just installed new cables and now when I start the bike it’s like it’s full throttle now touching anything. The needle and sleeve move freely in the carb. I am tried adjusting damn near everything. Any ideas?
I had this issue but my sleeve was getting hung up. Had to lightly sand it down. Check everything in line from the throttle tube to the carb. The cable at Carb and throttle both have adjustment screws to add or remove slack. My bet is the sleeve. It can actually be installed and fit while being wide open. Double check to make sure it’s aligned in the correct grove and doesn’t have any imperfections that’s hanging it up.
So I finally figured out the cable is too short! I bought a cable assembly from the local bike shop. It’s not a OEM part. They assured me it would fit. I removed the jam but on the adjustment section and it let the needle seat enough to control the throttle properly. Thanks for the help! Good job on the video!
I bought a pw50 and thought the throttle cable was stretched so bought a new one, I've just fitted it and there's loads of slack, I have fully adjusted the screw witch took up some slack but there's still a bit left? I'm about ready to bin the whole bike ha ha.
I’ll attempt to help 😂 1. Did you buy and oem cable with the 3 ends (throttle housing, carb, oil pump)? 2. Is it an aftermarket cable? If your oil pump is removed and you just have a straight cable from throttle to carb, there is also an adjustment for the cable where it screws into the carb. You could also try that adjustment with the oem cable setup I bet.
@@AndrewDeVries211 it was off a site called yamaha parts, I've ordered a oem one as I've got 2 cables that are way too long ha ha thanks for the help 😀
i am having the same issue mine keeps popping back out of the switch on the handlebars and its a aftermarket cable and even if i adjust it at the carb or near the handlebars its like it doesnt get any slacker or any tighter
Every cable I've ordered comes up 1 inch short no matter how the cable is routed. Where is the best place to buy new cable and carb? Almost everything I find online says it's OEM but is just Chinese junk
My son raced it in the 50 shaft class. One of the rules is to have the oil injection installed. I put it back in to play by the rules. It ran just fine without it.
At 4:09 you can see there is an adjuster on the throttle cable. The more you unscrew the adjuster the more slack it will take out of the throttle cable.
@@AndrewDeVries211 The OEM cable I ordered did not come with a new adjustment nut. I noticed yours didn't either. It looks like you purchased that piece separately (the old in your video is silver, and the new is black). Is that correct? I need to order that piece found in the carb part diagram...?
Haha. I feel your pain. I’m not sure if I mentioned it in the video. But I’ve done a few cable replacements on the pdub. One time the float was binding up in the carb…
Thanks so much. My son is so happy now I have fixed his bike.
I’m glad to hear this helped someone!

Glad that the one thing I'm here for you skipped over how tf do I put this fuel pump line back tf on

Excellent video, Subscribed.
How do you get the cable through the the top of the carb on the brass slide side not the pin side since it's a horizontal o instead of a vertical o?

I am having a lot of trouble getting the choke cable out since I am replacing the carb too

From a Yamaha dealer.
I’ve run into this before! Check the cable routing from handle bars to frame. Google images a pic of a pw50 and make sure you went the correct route.
Governor screw is 5Mx25 and pitch is .80
Why did you reinstall the oil injection?
My son raced it in the 50 shaft class. One of the rules is to have the oil injection installed. I put it back in to play by the rules. It ran just fine without it.
I have problems with the throttle cable, it is a little loose. I don't know how to adjust it

Hi big fan
Oh yeah it’s this easy I’ve been trying to get this job done for m3 days now hahaha
Haha. I feel your pain. I’m not sure if I mentioned it in the video. But I’ve done a few cable replacements on the pdub. One time the float was binding up in the carb…
I got my sons done finally. Had to redo the routing a few times. Now he’s got all 3 cables new plus choke ready for ama races next season 👍
Wow
