    I recently rebuilt and cleaned my carbs before reading the church of clean of course so I didn't take any pictures or make any notes of proper placement of the enrichment cable or clutch cable bracket. Does anyone have any step by step photos of where they should be located? It looks like my enrichment cable should go between 3 and 4 but I have to much slack in the cable and my clutch cable bracket won' fit
    I've looked throughout the forum but all the pictures available were blocked by photobucket

    You say an 84, is it the Xj750rl?
    If it is I'll post pics of my carbs to help out. You can go to my Facebook page
    "Toomanybikes " and there are pics there as well.

    Hi I have a 82 yamaha xj650 maxim. I bought new cable from amazon with part number I got from yamaha parts website. I installed it and pulled the throttle a few times. Didnt see it stick at all.. but if I turn the bike to the left it will rev il. Why would it do that when I replaced the cable with brand new one

    Yup, it’s routed incorrectly and when you turn the bars it is pulling the outer sheath out of the holder which in turn opens the throttle.

    In the back of the service manual there is a diagram with cable routing.
