75 Carb linkage

[Maxx]

I'm attempting to install the freshly cleaned carbs onto my basket case bike and discovered that the after-market manual that I have doesn't show the 75 carb linkage (apparently only later bikes mattered). Unlike later years of the XS650, the carbs dont have a mechanical linkage to keep them in sync.

Does anyone out there have a good picture/technical drawing showing the hardware connecting the 2 carbs and throttle cable? I have to dig through several boxes of parts to hopefully find the required hardware to put it all together.

There is no linkage, there are two separate throttle cables.

OK. Then there has to be either 2 cables coming from the throttle or a piece of hardware that allows a single throttle cable to split to the two carbs.

Two separate cables from the throttle switch housing.

Thanks for the info. Now, if I could only find the thottle....

I think I've found what's left of my throttle. If I'm not mistaken, I will need the dual pull throttle sleeve and a throttle cable retainer (appears to hold the cables to the bar switch assembly). Off to MikesXS I go.
