Where the hector???

I bought an '83 standard in about 40 pieces, Pretty much everything is there, trying to restore to normal. Choke cable; where does it attach at the carb end. Have and checked manuals but no mention of choke in carb sections or anywhere else, so where? Thanks in advance, Denny

I had a spare rack of carbs, which really come in handy to take pictures of when someone asks questions like this...

 

The choke cable attaches at the top right corner of carb 1, (rear right when on the bike). The cable goes into the roughly triangular bracket, which also should have a rod that connects to the other side of the carb rack (not shown on the spare rack as I have removed carb 3). There is another little bracket with a holding tab & screw on the upper right corner of carb one to hold the cable sheath end.

 

The second picture shows how it connects on the bike.

 

While you are rebuilding everything, I would strongly suggest not usiing the original fuse box... a $10 fuse mini-ATC or ATO fuse block with the blade style fuses will make your life much easier. The original fuse blocks are well past their intended life and the clips are very brittle... breaking at the worst possible time.

 

If you have any more questions or need more pics, send me a PM. Good luck !

No problem... remember we all need pics when you get your machine together...
