Replacement throttle cable arrived and fitted perfectly, then realised had left the little rubber boot off the carb end, balls, refitted cable and then popped the carb and boost bottle back on. Filled fluids and bled oil pump, kicked over a few times with ignition off, fuel on (inline filter), choke on, 3rd kick a splitter and then away it went. Running a lot healthier than before and pick up off the throttle is nice and crisp if you know what I mean. Let it warm up and thermostat working fine, well pleased. I thought if anything was going to be a problem it would be the carb but that seems sweet thank God, the truth will be when I ride it though. Wheels due back in a fortnight so 2 weeks to rebuild the master cylinders and calipers, still hoping for a reply from Yamaha about the original build colour though. Going to get original expansion chamber refinished before fitting it back on, currently has B.O expansion camber and tail pipe but diameter of tail pipe smaller than expansion pipe, will have to source an original silencer soon.
