Carb Lines

[Colt Winchester]

Your top concern should be a thorough cleaning, tuning is made easier when the carb is ready for it. I'll see what I can find.

Here is Macgregors excellent guide : https://boldorclub.nl/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/honda_carb_manual_revf.pdf

Does this apply to the SOHC carbs on a 71? I see it mentions that it's for the DOHC bikes of the later years.

Oh sorry, forgot you got an earlier bike. Im sure you could find an youtube tutorial, if anything your carbs should be easier to work on.

Since they're just over flow lines, have you seen anyone who ever built something to clean up the look under there? I was thinking it might be possible to connect all four to the same line and have a single line flow out the back instead of having four randomly hanging out back there.

I'm wanting to clean up that look a bit.

There is a slot located close to the rear wheel swingarm pivot point. the four hoses are routed through that opening with the battery hose overflow. That way they don't just hang loose.

Those cuts were done to work on the top end of the engine without removing it from the frame. Not a great idea IMHO. Normally you remove the entire engine block to do any work on the cylinders or cam or head. Valve adjustment & cam chain adjustment is the only thing you do installed.

Colt , just make sure you clean out all of the passageways after sonic cleaning . Sometimes sediment can stay in the carb and will block them . So use carb clean or compressed air and give them a good blast after to make sure they are clear
