Hey guys,
I am hoping you more intelligent guys can help me. I am not very
engine savvy, but know enough to be dangerous. I recently picked up
an old rough looking 3-wheeler and was able to get it running after
quite a bit of work, but had a few questions.
There are some pics in my Google web album here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/kd4hvz/Yamaha3Wheeler
1: I am told it is a Yamaha YTF 185, but can't find any reference to
that model on the web and am wondering if I was told wrong. I am
wondering if anyone knows models well enough to identify it from my
pics?
2: There is a cable on the right side just above the brake peddle
(circled in the pic). It has been cut, and I have no idea what it
is. I am guessing maybe clutch? Haven't got far enough on the
project to figure it out.
3: There is a plugged up hose on the right side of the carb (circled
in the pic). Any idea where it is supposed to go?
4: There is a wire on the left side of the carb (circled in the
pic). I am guessing choke based on my very minute knowledge of carbs.
Any help you guys can offer would be very appreciated. I was able to
get it running, but have not had time to go further at this point.
Thanks again.

Looks like it might be a YT125. or 175

Cable on right side of crankcase is for the oil pump. If it's cut, the
previous owner might have been running pre-mix(oil and gas) of the pump or
cable broke
Plugged hose is probably an overflow hose
Wire was probably for the choke
