G1 Exhaust Linkage Missing

[yamahag1lover]

Hello - I recently bought an older G1 for camping use. Had some issues with it but I think most of them are resolved.
One thing I noticed, I am missing the linkage from the exhaust to the throttle.
I have seen on here where it wont "hurt" the cart to not have it but also read that it helps quite them down and run better with the back pressure at lower RPMS
As you can imagine at the camp ground all we do is "put" around it so I feel for my use I need this part.

Q1 - Does anyone know where to buy this maybe used?
Q2 - Has anyone ever had to "rig" something in order for that butterfly flap to move?

I have looked I don't even see these parts online for sale as most are obsolete new from Yamaha.
Any help will greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Is it the J10-14802-00 that you need of so I can guide you in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply.
Its actually the entire linkage. There are many Yamaha part #'s to make this up but who ever redid the cart before me did a crappy job and they must have removed it all together or it broke and they didn't want to fix it.

that part # you listed is that main rod but I actually need everything.

The linkage I listed is on fleabay at 14.99 or best offer. They other parts are going to be a seech and get lucky you can see the entire parts with #'s if you don't have them at TNT, Gilbert's and other sites

thank you I did order that one main rod on e bay. once I get it I am going to see if there is a way to maybe rig something if I cant find those others... I think for my use of the cart I really need/want this linkage hooked back up.

Cool they also have the exhaust nut ring J10-14612-00 for 19.99. I have bought a lot from them. Always go lower on offer by 20%. Hope this helps.
