    The "choke" control in the middle ended in 1981. The '82 models had it on the left handgrip.

    The carbs in that link are set up for the '82 "choke", but parts are available to go back to the '80/'81 type.

      What do you plan to do about registering it?

              Pre 80s 850s have a kickstart?

              Oh boy I might look for an older gs later on.

                Skip the "s", it's just "pre-'80".

                As in "1979".

                As in "the only year the 850 had a kicker".

                There were so many improvements with the '80 model, I don't know why you would want to go backward.
