So I love to tell people when they are full of it. I am happy....no elated to tell Sandwiches that you were, are, and in my opinion forever.....wrong. Thats right. The bike started up, runs like a champ, and is NOT due to a bad throttle cable. But thanks for trying.
The actual problem was a rusted and stuck solid, exhaust solenoid as well as the actuator rod unattached. (Would not have found that out without taking the motor apart!!!). My father in law and I tested the solenoid, and it failed. We took it apart and found it rusted stuck. We disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled to get it to work. After reinstalling, it worked like it should.
Note to everyone following this. Don't listen to people unless you examine it first yourself. Now my motor is clean and I, yes inexperienced, found the problem first hand. While I might be an amateur, I saved a ton of money. I saved even more because I didnt have to buy a throttle cable. LOL

note to everyone following this thread: dont waste your time posting in a thread in a thread if your not even going to listen. especially if the task is as simple as wiggling the throttle to eliminate choice one the throttle cable.
and p.s. 40fordpu you saved 10 dollars on not buying a new throttle cable.

Power valve assembly
Hello all, I know I should have created a new thread but for the life of me I couldn't figure out HOW! I am seeking advice on the assembly of a 98 rmx power valve.. I have the bike torn down to frame and is just about ready for reassembly.. While Cleaning the engine and replacing top end I noticed the powervalve had a clip just floating around.. After looking in the manual it shows the clip, one spring and a screw holding it down.. I have no spring, the spring goes into a 3/16 to 1/4" hole and looks to be about an inch long in the repair manual.. The manual goes into no detail about how it is assembled and since I didn't take it apart or have another one i have no idea how it goes back together.
My main question is.... Is there one spring or two springs? there is two holes, a retaining clip with two identical ends on them, yet the manual only one spring?? Just want to confirm that a spring goes into each hole so I can order them.. Thanks in andvance and sorry for the mispost..
I posted a pic.. The spring is #10 Retaining clip #4 The whereabouts of the missing parts (springs and screw) is what scares me most! Although the bike ran great.
