74 - 77 Throttle Bracket needed

Post by Coyote »

Not sure what to call it, but it holds and adjusts the throttle cable(s). This set didn't come with that part. The bolts are there but not the part. I THINK I have one but am unable to find it

That part usually stays with the cables when you take the carbs out.

That must be what happened then. I got this set off eBay and that part is missing. The only time I ever take that off is for cleaning -- never left it with the cables.

On the flip side though, other than the melted bellows, the carbs seem to be in very good condition. Apparently the bike these came off of was stored indoors. There is zero rust on the lifter shaft and no white corrosion on the inside. Just dirty.

Ask the eBay seller you got the carbs from. He might still have the part.

That was several months ago - but Ill try. The seller didn't have any other parts for sale, so I doubt she will have it. I looked briefly for the one I thought I had. No success. If worse comes to worse I can swap that part back and forth between sets.
