    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

When I bought my GS1000G the choke was disabled. I thought the cable was broke, but it is fine. I just completely cleaned the carbs and reassembled them but I can't figure out how the choke cable attaches and functions. There may be some parts missing, I don't know. All I have is what was on the carb choke community rod and the cable down, nothing else between. I'll try to attache a photo.

What you have is a "choke" assembly from an '82-and-up carb set, on what you claim is an '80 bike. No problem, but you need the rest of the hardware. On the newer bikes, there is a curved tube that will bolt on to the top of #2 carb and direct the cable to the mechanism you pictured. You need to have the correct cable, as the '80 cable will not work. Switching to the newer cable will also require you to change the left switch housing on the handlebar, to accomodate the lever that mounts on the bottom.

A far easier solution would be to get the correct "community rail" as you called it, and activation mechanism for your year bike. I belive I have what you need. Send me a PM, we can discuss it.

I have the hardware for the 80-81 choke. I'll include an extra choke rod piece since you'll need another one to replace the one on the #4 carb with a normal one.
 
Hi,

For reference, this is what it looks like on my bike. Throttle cable on the left, choke on the right:

Thank you for your indulgence,

This is a better view of the rod end part by No.4. No bracket on the carb for holding the choke adjustment end is present.
