1989 Yamaha moto 4 350cc BIG Project!!!!! Help

[Ted Craig]

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.

The $50 carb os prob a Chinese carb ? If so don't waste ur money.  It will give you a headache.   A cable is locatable its just going to take a little time.

100% agreed. That carb is worth a few buck as well. I reached out to a guy i have in PA. He has everything, lets see what he says.

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

The part number is the same as the one you listed but lets wait and see so we can verify. 

Can you post or check the vin # so you can verify the year ?
