    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.

VM26 Carb Question - What is this Part

Took my carbs apart (1979 GS750E/N), cleaned them like the tutorial, reassembled, and put them on the bike. Aside from some tuning issues, it runs decent (will fix tuning).

Then I found this part on the bench. Where the heck does this go? I took the carbs back off (a couple of times even, to continue to fiddle with needles & jets) and can't seem to locate a hole for the screw.

Feelin' kind of dumb...I should be able to at least find the hole.

Thanks in advance (as always)?

retainer that goes in the groove on the throttle rod...bolt goes in the threaded hole. Must have the top cover off to insert the bolt. Look at the throttle rod linkage and youll see the slot it goes in.

The dimple in the clip must fit into the detent in the backing plate...youll see what I mean once you find the slot in the throttle connecting rod.
 
It fits in the slot on the rod that raises the slides. Keeps it from sliding back and forth.
 
More accurately...It stops side play which can add side load pressure to the linkage between the throttle rod and the slides. Making for sticky operation.
 
Just adding to Bills post so you understand why the throttle rod is supposed to be pinned in place..FYI.
 
Yup...pretty clear now. Thanks for pointing it out. It certainly explains #4 being slightly more resistant to slide than the others.

Thanks to both for pointing it out (and explaining it)?
