Throttle cable change help - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I'm new to sledding and my Ski-doo MXZX 600 I'm trying to replace my throttle cable, seams simple enough on the carbs end but on the oil pump end. It looks hard to get to. Can anybody help with how to go about this? Looks like even with crbs removed, I still won't be able to get my hands in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know about your sled but on my 95 670 Summit the pump was a breeze with the carbs and airbox removed. The PIA is carbs when you get the cap,gasket and spring on the cable the slide is a pain to get hooked to the cable. Especially with big fingers like mine.

Remove the exhaust to get at the oiler.

Thanks for the response guys! I should have stated it's a 2008. Even with carbs off I think I need to pull the intake manifolds and reeds to be able to even think of getting in there.

Isn't it warranty?

NO, not when you go over an embankment and hit a tree. LOL, not me thank goodness. Had dealer repair the whole thing, back working great. But then noticed the cable was kinked at the bars, no big deal to change? Handle bar and throttle body yes, not oil pump end!.
