Removing stock carburetor and cables.
1. Remove seat and gas tank. Make sure fuel
petcock is in “off” position.
2. Remove throttle cable paying close attention
to routing, as the new cable(s) will need too
be routed the same.

housing. Stuff a clean, dry rag into manifold
to keep debris out of motor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This machine is equipped
with a throttle over-ride system (TORS) and a
neutral safety switch. You must unplug the
TORS
From the wiring harness located near the
steering stem top mount. The neutral safety
switch located on the clutch perch must also be
removed and unplugged. Once unplugged,
tape the two wires together that come out of the
wiring harness.

the face of the manifold with a razor blade or
