carburetors

Bike runs, idles steady. Carbs have been pulled and gone through twice. Manifolds on both sides replaced. No indication that the bike is running on only two cylinders and it actually sounds nice at idle. Figured since I got it running fairly well id do a carb sync. Cyl 1&2 look good - both...

So, I have an 82' 750c that i just rebuilt the carbs on. i got everything put back together after following this PDF https://www.cb750c.com/publicdocs/SeanG/Honda_Carb_Manual_revG.pdf after re-attaching the carbs to the bike, and starting it, the bike idled at 4k. adjusting the pilots screws...

I'm having some issues with throttle cables. When I adjust them with the bars straight they are fine, but if I turn the bars all the way right the cable gets too tight. I've gone thru the adjustment procedure, but still doesn't seem right. I have new OEM Honda cables, but it acted the same...

New to the bike world. Carb cleaning is a giant pain in the ass, especially for someone who's never before touched a carb. I am thinking about getting a set of Murray's Carbs. Any opinions? Should I or shouldn't I? I pretty much have my mind made up already, figured i'd just throw this up here...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I have several bikes. One I bought 18 months ago is a BSA fitted with a CB750K engine. My first question is, what type of petrol should I be running though it. The previous owner, used an octane booster additive. I am running on Shell VPower 99 fuel. I am...

From what I have heard others say about these o rings being hard to locate. I experienced the same on my 1978 cb750k. I have a o ring kit that had the right one, it is a 008 part no. with a inside dia. of 3/16 and outside dia. 5/16 What usually happens is these o rings either fall out of #2...

OK, after getting a grounding issue and buying a decent set of jumper cables, I was able to do the compression test on my newly acquired 79 CB750L. Figured I'd move this over to the engine forum since electrical issues are sorted. After seeing the compression test results, I'm wondering if I...

Will any of the more experienced folks on here (maybe amc or dirtdigger) provide some advice on whether I should put in the effort to repair, rebuild, and re-jet the stock CV carbs or should I look at a replacement? I'm planning on using pod air filters and either a 4-into-1 (Delkevic) or a...

Hi, my 1980 750c does not have an accelerator pump fitted to no. 2 carb and I have read on other threads that the European models did not have them fitted. It is really hard to start from cold and has been since I bought it last year. The choke mechanism is working OK and following previous...

Anyone know anything about the old Posa-Fuel carb

I've been trying to chase down a problem with my 1978 Hondamatic 750A running very poorly in cold weather, in the 40's or 50's F degrees. It runs great in the summer, but predictably runs terrible when it cools off in the fall. I completely gone through the carbs, with no change in the...

Hi all, I've got an 82 CB750 that I picked up over a year ago not running and have been slowly rebuilding and converting to a cafe racer. The project is around 85% complete and have had a few attempts at getting the engine to run properly with not a lot of success. I'll start with a bit of...

Hi all, new guy Rob here. Writing about my '92 Nighthawk 750. I am in the process of removing the carb assembly and it will not budge from the engine. I removed the airbox and the choke cable. All the clamps are loosened, just about to fall off. I shot some WD40 around the intake boots and let...

Looking for proper procedure to set float height. Manual states height should be 15.5 mm, but unsure if this is with carbs lying flat or turned on side. Having difficulty getting 15.5 mm when carbs are on side? Thanks for any input.

I just bought my son a 1992 Nighthawk 750. He loves it. It has a ruff idle when 1st started when cold. Im planning on cleaning the carbs and syncing them. It has 24k miles on it. I already have a carb sync tool but not the adapter the screws into the carb intake. Does anyone know what size...

Can anyone recommend a carb rebuild kit for a '79 CB750F Super Sport ? I have been told the '79 is *unique* in that it had metal tabs on the floats and "will need a flat top needle and seat", so I wanted to make sure I get the correct product. I would also like to replace the bolts with Allen...

Hey there awesome people. John from little ole England here, Im looking for a little help with a fueling issue to the carbs. So, my sons 1981 DOHC, he's on active duty in Afghan and I promised him Id get it running sweet before he returns in November. Its bored out to 823cc because I had to...

Ive been having gas leaking out of my carbs for months. i did a full cleaning and carb rebuild. We decided to connect a hose to a gas tank and elevate it (removed from the bike) to see where its leaking from. Carb #1 is by far the worst and the others only begin to leak if you leave the gas on...

New member here! I recently acquired a 1979 cb750k on the local classifieds--not running, but otherwise in great condition with 12k miles on the odometer. I have no experience with older motorcycles, particularily carbs. The throttle was "stuck" and I discovered (after pulling the carbs out)...

Hi Gang, Jut got my vacuum gage and am getting ready to sync the carbs on my 93NH. The instructions say that I should have the choke full on while doing the sync. I have read a bunch of info on the net and watched a number of videos on carb syncing and I have never seen anyone have the choke...
