    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.

So,
I put the carbs together after a less then thorough cleaning(lets hope its enuf eh?) and get ready to put them on the bike...slide them in...put them in the carb boots...oh crap, the throttle cable i forgot, take the carbs back out of the carb boots and go to attach the cable....and I can't for the life of me put it on...any suggestions?

--L
 
Not sure what you're doing or how you're doing it, or if this will help, but... with my Yamaha, it's easiest to attach first at the carb while pulled off the boot slightly, then attach it to the handle. Got similar advice for my Honda. Haven't had to do it yet on the GS.
 
I get the carbs into the general area, then, using all three of my hands (don't ask :oops: ) I hold the throttle open all the way to get the cable hole into view, and slide the cable in from the side. After connecting the cable, I will slide the carbs into the intake boots.

Well, once winter is over :) we can head up north for some scenic riding. I've been meaning to do that road which runs across the Whites up in NH. Until then, let me know when you want to meet at motorcycle cafe on 119. I've got family stuff going on most weekends but if it's a nice day I can drop by for a bit after work.
 
Definitely...i'll shoot you a pm if the mood strikes...
I gotta fix my choke issue...
