Hello, i have many questions but ill start with a few.

1. The yamaha 350 from 89ish- 93ish has this dual actuating throttle cable assembly. I can not find a replacement cable for it. One cable had rusted and broke. Do i need to update to the new carb style that has the single cable? If so this sucks because i just cleaned this one. 

2. Has anyone found replacement struts/coil-overs for these moto 4s?

3. What cause oil residue in the starter gear housing? Is it normal? 

4. Does anyone have a service manual?

I hope to get answers to this stuff. Im the kind of guy that researches and never Have the opportunity to help people. Hopefully this thread will do just that.

Man I love big projects ! Welcome to Quadcrazy. 
I would make a list and tackle it item by item.   
I will check with a few local people that have atv scrap yards and see what they have.   
 

service manual can be downloaded after 10 or more contributing posts within the forum or being a paid member.

Awesome! Sounds great. Its is a huge project, my friend bought it brand new in 1989. The last 3 years it sat in a field with the old gas left in it. I cleaned the carb out but im stuck on this cable. It has 2 throttle cables, one to the needle/slide, and one to the butterfly. I just need the cable that runs to the slide. Online searches and parts aren't very specific. If i have to, ill purchase an aftermarket carb for $50, but I'm trying to keep cost low. As far as the coil overs, the ones on it are shot, i have an 86 parts moto 4 i was going to use the front shocks and swap them.

This diagram is off of a warrior, i found what seems to be the part online but im not putting that much in it, especially if i dont even know how it runs. Im going to try to get it to idle today.  Diagram part num 21 is what the assembly looks like. I need the one cable that goes from where it splits to the needle on top of the carb. Thanks

      2000 Yamaha Breeze 125 slips in Forwards, runs fine in reverse
      By hengstserepair
      Howdy ya'll. I am working ona 2000 Yamaha Breeze 125. It was in rought shape when I received it and I am working through issues as they pop up. The quad had been sitting for years. I was able to get her running again, but I need your help with the following issue:
      I don't trust the transmission yet and I don't want to make problems any worse. So, I haven't pushed things hard at all. Low rpms, less than 5mph in reverse.

      Nuetral: Runs as expected
      Reverse: She seems to be driving fine at slow speeds. Going into reverse at idle is fine, coming out of reverse back into neutral won't work (the shifter is just stuck). As soon as I turn off the quad, I am able to shift around without any issue.
      Forward: It slips. It seems to only transfer power to the wheels on a smooth surface and going slightly downhill. When shifting into forward at idle, there is a clacking sounds during the transition. Shifting back to nuetral works just fine.

      Other Notable Symptoms: There was old oil in the vbelt and when I was tuning the carb, it starting blowing out of the CVT cooling vent at the front of the quad. Made quite a mess. There is positive crankcase pressure due to piston blowby, that I have not decided whether or not I am going to fix (customer budget dependant).  Since the oil was old, much darker than the new oil that is in the crankcase, I am thinking it seeped past a bad seal while it was sitting for years. The oil that was in it when I first got it had gas in it.

      Thoughts: I am thinking maybe there is an issue with the clutch. I worry about the old oil intermingling with the dry centrifugal clutch. I was thinking my next step would be to take the cover off of the clutch and inspect it.

      Let me know what you all think. Any advice and ideas is greatly appreciated. This is only the 3rd quad I have worked on and I have a lot to learn.

      2000 Yamaha big bear 400 won’t start
      By Mister907
      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.

      2007 Yamaha Big Bear IRS Short
      By jeffinotown
      Hey guys and gals. I've been working on my friends 2007 big bear IRS. Unfortunately after 3 different people got their hands on it and only made things worse every time.  After months of finding just crazy problems everywhere. I'm finally at the point we're its almost 100% !!! But I'm getting a short somewhere between the 4xW switch I believe. I managed to by searching the internet like a  fiend, got my hands on an official Yamaha wire harness for the year and make. But I don't have the numbered component list and to be honest. After hours of going through and making everything so it's  easy to reference. If anyone has a picture of the referenced components. I would be forever in your debt. I've spent hours marking up the blown up diagram so it will be easy, for any possible future repairs. Please and thank you. Here's a picture of what i have so far.  Unsealed it in plastic so oil and crap won't spill or get smudged. This damn things worth it's weight in gold.              Thanks Jeff                2007 Yamaha big bear 400 IRS.       YFM40FBW
