    Choke Cable?

    OK so I have been plugging away at the GS now that were are (for the time being) out of the minus 20 tempuratures. And I hooked up the carbs and throttle cable. However when I went to attached the choke cable, I cant figure out how...

    Does anyone have any pictures of how the cable comes from the bars right to the carbs.

    What bike is this for? You might want to throw that in your signature block so we don't always have to ask.

    With that said, can you take a picture of the opposite side of your throttle as I believe it will go there (looks like you are missing something)

      You have to run the cable thru that 90 degree tube on the left side of the throttle cable mount. The tube should be pointing straight up instead of back over the carbs.

        Oh ****!

        I see that now, I didnt even see that hole when I was working on it. Thanks guys

        Do I have the ends right though? Like where the choke finally hooks up? It just seems like my cable is far to long

          Yes, it appears to be ended correctly. Kinda hard to tell from that angle, but there is a little slider fork that supports the end of the cable and holds it into the hook at the end. The two items will totally encircle the end of the cable, holding it in place.

          You should also consider getting proper clamps for those intake boots. There are grooves in the boots that are made just for the proper clamps. Using those wider clamps will distort the boots, and might give you problems.

            Yeah I noticed I picked up the wrong clamps when I attached them. But they will have to do for now. I have a set of Kelhine CR carbs with new boots to go on once I get the bike up and running.
