Topic: Carb choke linkage thing

[Rsnip988]

Serveral people think I'm incompetent mechanically becuse I mostly keep my posts to the humor section.... I dont think so but I'm biased..
I just havent run into any problems I couldnt resolve as of yet...

1976 CB 750k6

I seem to have misplaced the center linkage on the four carb choke levers, its shaped like O--===--O  like eye bolts screwed into an inch long nut then another eyebolt....   one honda place near i called said they could special order one for $15 +Shp they sell these nuts and bolts at Lowes Hardware I can just match them up and replace it a lot cheaper.... another dealer said they had no idea what i was talking about, that there was nothing on the schematic like that...  maybe he just didnt know what he was talking about I dont know...

my problem is that I have been looking at some carbs on here and e-bay and theirs is a straight flat metal plate not the nut assembly, so i was wondering if this was stock or if a PO just rigged something up...

PS i have temporarily misplaced the Manual to look it up myself  maybe its in the trunk of my car


any info would be greatly appreciated

I had found the part in the fiche but the second dealer couldnt find it even after i told him the number...

so i should just order one and wait as oppossed to rigging up the same thing to work?







I said it might be in the car... most likely not I misplace things a lot hence the "Rod B choke arm" being lost

I FOUND the part and managed to get the carbs back on the bike, i must have used a gallon of WD-40



manual still missing though

You sure you adjusted them correctly? You have to screw-unscrew the eyelets to modify the length, in such a way that when you actuate the choke all the plates open or close exactly -put your affordable tolerance here- the same height.

I made sure they all opened and closed as one by unscrewing the eyelet, thanks for the heads up though

I noticed after some flipping and moving trying to get the pin through the tiny 1/32" hole, that they werent lining up so i adjusted accordingly

I also managed to change out the fork oil from gross black to a nice Nyquil red
