    Evidently you have to have an account to see the ones that you already posted.

      Try photo bucket, there's an app for that.
      It resizes the pics for you.

        Yep i see now by the spring. It will take a minute or so but i bet i can get it

          Yeah it sounds like the one on the 850 or something, I just haven't messed with one in a while. Sorry I couldn't remember exactly how it comes apart.

            Dont be sorry without you i probably would have damaged the bike.

            I finally unhooked the wire. But im not sure if i just pull it through or what. Because now its unhooked but still fed into the part

              The bracket that holds the choke is screwed to the carb top right? I always just unscrewed the bracket instead of fiddling around feeding the cable through everytime.

                    The choke cable is unhooked and threaded through that 90. But if I pull the cable to try to unfeed it- it doesn't go. It moves through a little and stops. I don't want to ignorantly damge it if there's an obvious solution.

                    When I pull- and even loosen the tension, a little plastic cover around the wire apears out of the top.

                    yeah.....

                    I'm lost. I should probably be in the Carbs seciton of the forum, I kinda digressed on this one.

                      Does the brass L come off the bracket? Sometimes it's easier to remove more parts than to fight with them on the vehicle.

                        If you go on to a web site like PartShark or Boulevard Suzuki, you can look at the parts Fitch for your motorcycle. These are more handy than a manual when it comes to figuring out where everything goes. You need a manual too though.

                          I seems I cant remove the bracket- at least easily. I'll look again tonight when I get home. I just can't imagine unhooking that pesky choke cable just to have to remove the whole mechanism anyway.

                            Spray PJ1 or liquid wrench ... into the U shape and let it sit a day. The cable will come out.

                              It's supposed to take a couple seconds to unhook.
