[QUOTE="westgl, post: 95028, member: 2025"] I removed the auto choke on my 740 Carb. as the carb. is too big to fit between the frame for me comfortably with the auto choke on it. There is a vacuum port under the auto choke, that needs to be covered/Plugged. I made a small block off plate, a manual choke could be made, very easily. I got rid of the oem inlet can fuel filter going into the carb. & put a 1/8" pipe thread 90degree brass fuel inlet fitting. I took off the front solenoid, and put in a plug, and another plug in under the fuel inlet is a smog inlet another plug here. I removed the oem Choke lever arm on throttle shaft. I bought a uni-Link Kit. The Uni-Link is what i used to set up my throttle cable, it Holds the stock Pull cable end, and does a pretty good reliable job, I am getting full throttle, at this point and still have more movement at my hand to go than the Carb. needs to go to full throttle at the carb. From what I have read, & when I pulled that vac. unit apart, it looks like there is some adjustment in that advance unit, to advance the timing some. I need to make a bracket for the cable Adjustment Hold. I have a design sketched out, for the stock Cable adjustment Hold. The stock cable may be too long, If that is the case I have another cable that is 4" shorter, it looks just like the 83' GL1100 cable only 4" shorter, i think it was for a CB750 but i will have to verify that I have what bike it was for on the cable. Only problem is finding stuff in my new shop is tuff, a lot of stuff still in boxes after the move, but the new shop is HUGH!!! My bike is a 83' GL1100 and has a Vacuum operated advance. I am using the vacuum port on the right Rear oem intake manifold, (The Sync Port) and a fitting that I used for syncing my carbs screw into that manifold, I may have to solder the end closed and drill the hole with a small drill bit to reduce the vacuum for advancing, this may take a few times to get it just right, But it is easy and accessible. I am Contemplating adding heat to the manifold center section. [/QUOTE]
