I have a 94 vmax 600. The throttle cable is adjusted all the way out of the bracket. The oil cable adjuster is fully closed. Both cables have about 1" of free play at the handlebar. I thought maybe the throttle cable was incorrect so ordered a new one. The new one is exactly the same length as old. Snowmobile runs fine but i know there should not be 1" of free play. Everything appears stock. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
You need to adj. your throttle end play first, here to
i think 2mm,then adj. your oil pump here and here .
set pump to 27mm.

last is idle

Ho do I adjust the throttle end play? The cable is adjusted as far out of the bracket (at the carb) as it will go. It almost seems like the cables are to long but I ordered a new throttle cable and same thing.
 
yes the adjuster is all the way out. That is why I thought it was the wrong cable. I am starting to think maybe the handlebars are not correct. It idles fine and runs great. Seems like it is getting the appropriate oil amount. The parts all seem to match the online parts diagrams.
 
Any idea how tall the stock riser should be? The riser is about 1". Maybe it should be taller? If I'm thinking correctly the routing of the cable could effect this as well?
 
your right, the only variable would be how far the jacket slips into the hole at the thumb and how far you turn the jacket down at the adjustment at the carb. The cable is a certain length. The jacket is used to adjust end play at the handle.
 
I don't think the cable length matters. The cable length in relation to the plastic jacket is all that matters. So either the hole that the jacket goes in at the thumb is too deep, or the wrong thumb is on there or the cable is still not correct. It is the right cable for the year that the seller told me it was (94), maybe it's not a 94? I can't believe it would change much though. This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!!! At least it runs great! It is my daughters sled so if it is not reaching full throttle because of this no big deal. She doesn't pin it anywho. Probably better that way, she's only 12!!!!
 
Alot of sled for a 12 year old???

still could have sold ya the wrong one,be nice if somone had
one off to measure for ya..
 
It is alot of sled but she is more the size of a 14 year old. She has been riding for a few years now. Last year she rode my indy 650 alot. She had an old colt 340. Said she couldn't go back after riding mine.
 
daman, I see you have a 94 600 LE, same as mine. Is there any way I could get you to take a few pictures of where the cable meets the thumb? Specifically I'm looking for how far the cable plastic sheathing goes into the thumb switch. I think this is where the probelm is. Some good closeups of this area would be sweet. No big deal if you can't, it's kind of a pain I know. Thanks
 
I could yea but it's my brothers sled at his house 10 miles away,, not shure
when i could get over there at this time...

i could call him and ask to explain it to me, when i can catch him off work.
