My wifes 91 phazer will only start and run if you have very light pressure on the throttle. Not enough pressure to move the throttle cable ,but enough to move the pivot pin assembly on the throttle assembly itself. I can see that there is a smitch in the throttle assembly. I have tried another throttle assembly and it does the same thing. Does any one know what to check for next? I'm stumped. I'll check back. Thanks,Ron

Maybe you need to adjust the idle. There should be a big plastic screw between the carbs (or in that general area) that adjusts the idle rpm.
I had a '90 Phazer and when the pipe was cold it would not idle unless you held the throttle open a little bit.
You might want to send a PM to Turk. He's a real guru on this kinda stuff.

Had the same problem on my old Exciter.
There is a matching switch on the carbs which works together with the switrch in the throttle assembly as a throttle overide system (TORS). I would bet that the switch on the carbs is screwed. To verify, it is easy to "bypass" this system. Find the switch on the carbs, and locate the connectors for the wiring harness. disconnect the harness, and "reconnect the harnesses to themselves". In other words connect the two wires from the carb switch together, and then connect the other two wires to each other (male connector to the female conector) .
If all is well now, then you have a bad carb switch. You can either fix the switch, or install a tether switch to serve as an emergency kill switch should a rider lose control because of a frozen carb etc.
Make sense?

They had the TORS syestem on one of my Phazers and the exact thing happend to me. It was a real pain in the *** until I finally figured out how to bypass it like Exciterfan said.(after the season of course)

put more tension on the throtlle cable it has too much slop in it and not actuating the tors in the throttle assy, or the switch on the carbs is bad or the switch on the carbs is disconnected. Take the 2 wires that plug into the carb switch, disconnect them, plug those 2 wires together (the 2 on the harness side) and see if the problem goes away.
Yup, what 800 said . . .

You guys are great I will try this tomorrow Thanks alot.,Ron 
Ron, don't leave us in suspense, did it work?
Yes I unplugged the two wires and then plugged them into each other and it worked . You guys are the best. Thanks Alot,Ron
