Distorted Carb Inlet and Metal Choke Replacement
Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2017 12:36 pm
Carb No.3 inlet has been flattened on the bottom, is this going to cause problems? Can it be straightened or would it just crack if I tried? I bought these as a replacement set for my 650 Custom as they haven't got the dreaded air cut off valves, they were off a CB650Z (UK Model). I knew beforehand that the plastic choke pulley was broken so I managed to find a metal replacement from a CB750 K7, either 1977 or 78, I can't recall.
I separated the rack and tried the metal part but my camera batteries dieded, it slots straight on but I think I will need to file the flange on the new pulley by about 0.5-1.0 mm so that the spring clip and washer will fit.
