[QUOTE="jesse_54, post: 1312646, member: 87562"] OK, so recently I bought a bike from a guy I worked with for 50 bucks. He said it hasn't been running in about 10 years so I knew it was in need of a lot of work. After bringing the bike home i took the plug out, checked for spark, put in gas and oil (the bike is oil injected) put a little bit of gas in the spark plug hole and the bike fired up after several kicks. Now here's my problem. The throttle sticks pretty badly. I took the carb off and cleaned it thoroughly, but the slide still sticks open. Now, the throttle cable goes to the carb and to the oil pump. The oil pump cover is off and the cable was cut. So a new cable is in order, as well as the cover for the oil pump. Do you think these parts will solve my problem? Another thing is the bike is an 1981 yamaha mx175, but the manufacture date is October 1981..so maybe it is a 1982 model? I will post pictures soon. [/QUOTE]
