vm26ss

[bubby]

i finally found a set of vm 26ss and bought them they came with a 102 main but when i was messing with them yesterday i notice that there is not a choke lever there is a choke rail but no lever was wondering if any 1 had some pics i can see to find out what parts i need to find for them to be complete i will also load some pics later so you can see how there are setup rite now not sure if they are cable operated choke or if there are parts missing

by the way it might be helpful to know they are going on a 77 gs 750

The choke is lever-operated. The lever bits are in the upper center of the fiche here (Part Nos. 50-55, or so). You may need to hunt down these bits on eBay, unless someone here has a spare.

here is the only pics i have rite now i started cleaning them slowly dont plan on installing tell this winter but bad progress on the caps 2 on top 1/4 the way done and 2 on bottom 1/2 half way done i will take a pic later of what i think is missing the choke lever like i said the rod is there but no lever

they are cable operated chokes

My Skunk, '78 GS1000C/EC models had lever operated chokes, the '79 models have cable activated chokes.

A '78 fiche showing the lever part no 54.

A '79 fiche showing whatever you can distinguish, but no lever.

they look very similar to these but like you said whatever you can distinguish, but no lever.http://www.alpha-sports.com/suzuki_p...000N,EN/05.htm

the operating lever is between carbs 2 and 3, the choke cable connects on to the same bracket as the throttle cables. see on this pic, the lever and cable connector is just to the left of the throttle return spring and the cable mounting bracket is directly above the lever

that is the part i suspected of being the cable attachment this picture was verry helpful thank you so much for your time

So what do yours look like?? Frontal picture will help. If i see what you have I can send you what youll need to convert them. Ive got lots of racks with probably everything that youll need to get them back to manual lever operation. If yours are cable operated youll need the different throttle linkage, the manual lever, a manual fork for number 2 choke plunger, the lever screw and associated hardware. And look at the end of carb 1 (on the rack) and see if theres a threaded hole for the manual lever bolt to screw into.

here are some more pics i just took there is not a threaded whole in this rack these are the carbs currently on it i think they are early model z1 mikuni it runs great but they hang and i cant get them to idle down without bliping the throttle so per the advise from some fellow gs'ers i'm going to stock vm26ss bodies currently running a 4 into 1 kereker megaphone with the stock air box what should i jet these vms to when i finish rebuilding them they currently have a 102 main and that's all i know its been hot in my garage so i put this on hold tell it cools down a little
