With the new cable, the carb butterflies are stuck open... Sent from my XT1650 using DO THE TON mobile app

Problem: New throttle cable is too short. Overall length is fine. Situation: I'm cleaning up my handlebars and doing a relocation of my starter button and kill switch. While doing so I ended up needing a new throttle cable as the new throttle housing without switches is too small for the...

That's pretty much what I'm doing. My main concern really is where to hook up the HL, TL and NS on right control. And if it's possible to wire in the horn on left control.

For the controls, just what's on the back of the packaging. Which is just a run down of wire colors and it's function. Nothing for the switches themselves as far as a diagram goes.

1) I've done a lot of searching, through which I was able to get some connections made (which I will list out in this lengthy post). But, I wasnt able to complete my set up with what knowledge is available. 2) I know that finding what works for others won't exactly work for me and that I'll...

thats pretty funny, though I should update it now...gave the galaxie to my dad, sold the mustang and bought a 70 Mustang Fastback.

The other day on my way to class, my bike slowly dies. Got it home, pulled the seat...battery swelled up and was leaking, checked out the regulator and it was toasted, cooked potting leaked out. I got my new R/R in one wired in and my new battery hooked up. I went to check on it and the battery...

checked out my regulator, its looks like its leaking something. guessing its toasted. Whats a good upgrade that doesnt cost too much? Something like this work. http://www.amazon.com/Rectifier-Regulator-Deere-Kohler-Engine/dp/B005KJOMIW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1339113102&sr=8-1-fkmr0

thanks for the info fellas, I just got the bike home and put it on the charger, it read 75% full as soon as I connected the terminals to the charger, pulled my seat to check out the fuses and the head and tail fuses were blown. I think yall are on the right track. overcharging and what not.

I finally got my 75 CL 360 on the road, and when it runs it runs well. On my way to class today, my bike slowly starts to sputter then die. I let it sit for a few and it starts right back up. A few more miles down the road and it slowly starts to die, kind of like running out of gas but in a...

Ok, I understand, thanks.

Ok so that answers some questions I had about the condensors. The only question I have about the points is, at what point do I set them. IE after i set them I turned the engine over so I could watch the points. After I stopped turning it over the points gap were different then what I set them...

alright I got the points re-gaped and seeing a little bit better of a spark at the plugs. So probably need that condensor? I am pulling the sparks plugs and they are wet with fuel, so hopefully my carbs are good. thats for another thread though. I need to get this spark down.

wonder if he located the plugs yet.

not a typo, I miss read. Im gonna go back out and regap correctly. Thanks
