Throttle cable splits into 2?

[outlawgrafyx]

on my 1973 yamaha DT250 if you follow the throttle cable, it has a little boot coupler type thing, that one cab;e goes into, but then 2 cables come out of it??? i have no clue what it is for, and i wanna replace the throttle cable, but im guessing this is no easy part to find...one cable goes to the slide and the other goes into the right side of the crankcase. please help :bang:

Tht is to actuate the oil injection pump when you open the throttle. Go to ebay to Classic Cycle parts (ebay store) they have all the parts you need to fix that. I have the same on my 72 DT also go to

and you can look at the parts breakdown in their online catalog. hope this helps

I can help you out if you need anything me and some friends from work are into the old bikes. we are gonna do some vintage racing when our bikes are finished. email me I have some other links for parts and there is a guy fairly close that has a bunch of DT stuff too.

cool, yeah i will do

Do you have a maintenance manual for your bike. I just picked one up off of ebay for 2.99 plus shipping. I will keep an eye out for one for you if you want, and when I get mine you are welcome to use it if you need to.

 

[outlawgrafyx]

yeah i probably need to get one of those, i know enough about motors and carbs and such, but not model specific crap

 

[JunkmanDT250]

well Ill have mine in a few days so if you need it just give me a yell.

Its for the oil injection. Oil injection is usually found only on old 2 stroke street and trail bikes, like my 1973 Kaw. Its so you can fill up at a gas station without having to mix your fuel.
