Throttle cable routing ?'s

I bought an 82 gs750. It was pretty much bare without throttle cable, clutch cable or wiring.

So far I've tackled a lot of the stuff covered on bikecliff's website and some other stuff I've seen on this forum. But for the life of me I cannot seem to find an answer on how I hook up the throttle cable I bought from Cycle Recycle. I have it hooked to the throttle but I cannot seem to find where it mounts next to the carbs. The cable is physically hooked in-between 2 and 3 carbs but where the threaded insert goes is where I am lost. Am I missing something? I can post pictures if that will help.

So far I have replaced clutches/ springs, new gaskets, new o-rings in the carbs etc. I cannot seem to figure out why this cable is giving me so much trouble. I can fabricate a bracket to mount it if necessary just trying to see if I am not seeing something on the carbs or frame where this cable is supposed to go :(

Thanks ahead of time,

Jon
 
There should be a bracket that attaches to two of the carb cover screws that holds the threaded portion of the throttle cable in place. Should be a lock nut on each end of the threaded portion as well, that's used to secure/adjust the cable to the bracket.

Interestingly enough, that bracket doesn't show up on the parts fiche picture - only the choke bracket is shown...

Do you have the throttle bracket? Perhaps a member here will post a pic of how this looks??
 
Part number 13621-45160
#25 on this fiche, attaches to the top of carb #3.

I can get a picture in a bit if you need.

Seems it's no longer available so you will likely have to buy it used.

That same part can be found on the following bikes:

1982
GS750E
GS750T
GS850G
GS850GL

1983
GS750T
GS850G
GS850GL

and likely other GSes with CV carbs

I believe #25 is choke cable bracket, not the throttle cable bracket.

I checked a few different carb fiches & didn't see the throttle bracket :-k.

If you can post up a pic of yours that would be great.
 
I have neither brackets. I hadnt even looked into the choke cable and bracket yet because I was going to mount in on my battery box. I was going to get a custom cable for that.

The screws are there though? Thats odd... I guess I will have to track down someone parting a bike out or just fab up something to use till I can find something.

Thanks guys! if someone could post a picture of what it looks like that would be amazing, at least I would have an idea of what it looks like.
 
I will post a picture of my carbs when I get home. I'll just remove them to show.
 
Post in the "Part Wanted" for what you need...

Someone here should be able to help you out. Member Chef has lots of extra carb parts...

The single bracket holds both cables.

Ahhhh yes, you are absolutely correct! If I wasn't at work when I answered this initially, I would have looked at my own bike :oops:.

You'd think that after all the carbs I've torn down & put back together I would've remembered this...

Thanks Tank,
