    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.

I have decided that the spring that goes from the throttle pulley down to the carb body is too stretched and weak. This is causing the throttle get stuck open.

Where can I find another?
 
...and the type and year of bike is???

Lots of GS'ers have spare parts. I suggest posting in the parts wanted forum.
 
Oh sorry haha!

1978 GS750. Thanks

Here's what the spring looks like:

That one is toast !! You can get a spring at the hardware store that will work, cut to length..
 
yeah...I had noticed before how it was, but I thought "That's too simple to be the problem..."

And moved on to other things...ug!

Is there a certain pound spring I need? Like a resistance rating?
 
That spring seems to be still available from Suzuki.

Part# 13573-45010
Desc THRO RETURN SPR

I'd get the proper spring, either used or new.
 
Good find Nessism!

Thanks a bunch. The order's in.

This will hopefully resolve my issues.
 
Nooooo!!

I ordered at the h and h lawnmower place and after a few days got this message:

You order part #13573-45010 from any of the online OEM parts houses or your local dealer. :-k

If you have a lawnmower, order from a lawnmower parts house. :p

If you have a Suzuki, order from a Suzuki parts house. :pray:

.
 
I searched the SKU online and found nothing...I thought that would do it.


So...I found an OEM suzuki place that has it. Har har I feel dumb.


The lawnmower place also does motorcycle parts lol.
