    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Sticky throttle.

I have a 1979 gs850. I have owned it for a year. The throttle has always been stiff to turn. I recently went through and checked the tube. Which moves fine in the housing. I checked the cables. Both of them disconnected from the carbs move freely. But the rocker on the carbs that the cables attach to doesn't move freely. Is this a dirty carb slide, a sticky rocker or I don't know what else?
 
Could be the shaft that runs through all of the throttles, could be a bent or sticky slide, could be a bent needle dragging in the needle jet. Take it apart and find out, it 's time to replace all the orings anyway, and it's probably in need of a proper cleaning too. Why I'd even bet new boots wouldn't hurt it any.
 
I vote for a sticky slide in at least one carb- as mentioned ,probably best to open them up.
