    Throttle & Choke Interference

    Finally finished up all the maintenance work, and re-assembled my GS650GLX. However, my choke can not be activated more than 3mm. I have the 1981 vertical choke cable assembly, and the bar that connects the bracket on the Choke Valve Shaft for #3 carb to the Choke Cable Bracket assembly butts into the Throttle Cable Screw (end of throttle cable) below the Throttle Lever Seat. Hopefully you can see what I mean looking at the below graphic.

    The handle bar throttle cable has the adjustment set all the way in, and the throttle cable screw extends below the seat quite a lot, so I can't see adjusting the screw upwards to clear the sideways choke travel. And even if I could, the choke connector bar would still run into the throttle cable wire (though I could probably get another 2mm travel).

    Suzuki changed the choke activator design for 1982, I assume because they realized the problem? Have anyone run into this problem before, and if so, what was the solution? Could really use some guidance here.

    Thanks,

    Can't help you with your adjustment problem, but...NICE PICTURE. \\/

    What program did you use to draw that?

      Drawing

      Hi, Steve.

      It's just PowerPoint that I saved as a jpeg. Normally, though, I use Serif DrawPlus for graphics. Thanks for the compliment .

        Issue Resolved

        Well, I believe I've found the problem. Rather than following the pics I took during carb disassembly, I should have looked closer at the Clymer pics. It appears the PO had reversed two of the Choke Valve Shaft Brackets on the "rod". Clymer shows the attaching bracket between carbs 1 & 2, and not carb 2 & 3. The bad news is now I get to remove the carbs again to correct the error.

        Well, perhaps this useless post will serve some poor newbie in avoiding a mistake. It clearly was installed incorrectly before as the rear of the valve cover was scraped up pretty good from the linkage bar rubbing against it over time. Perhaps the PO wondered why he had such a hard time starting cold even "with" choke:shock:.
