  3. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    I purchased a CB400 that had been sitting for two years untouched. It was previously rebuilt and sold to the guy I bought it from who didn't use it for a few years before I got my hands on it. I cleaned up the carbs (mikuni brand - from the previous rebuild) with an ultrasonic bath and changed...

    Hello everyone! I have a 1982 Honda nighthawk 450SC with only 90 miles on it. I got it as a garage find, it hadn’t run in 15 plus years when I first got it. I tinkered with it a bit when I was in college probably making more issue as then solving. I had it running at one point, was running it...
  6. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Hi everyone, Thank you for any advice. Does anyone know where online I can source parts for my OEMSTD carbs? They went on my 1965 CB160 in 2017. I need a few different Main and Slow jets and also need a float needle...to help address a plug fouling issue. I've spent quite a few hours trying...
  7. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Here’s a video I made of what is going on with the bike. It will start and idle. It’s able to start using the choke when cold and will idle when no choke is used after. When you give it fuel it doesn’t rev freely and is erratic. It will die when coming off full throttle. Once it’s warm if you...

    Hey everyone, so I have a 200T I’ve been working on, it would run fine for a few minutes and then start only running on one cylinder, I rebuilt the carbs and put acetone in the tank to melt the epoxy liner off of the inside, out everything back together and it ran fine for about 45-50 miles...

    Hello all, ive been digging through this forum but couldnt find exactly what I was looking for (because I dont know exactly myself haha).

  10. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Hey all. So, after pulling my carbs to bench sync them yesterday using the guitar string as feeler gauge method, as per Common Motor Collective's Youtube channel, my bike started right away, but rpm's starting shooting way up past 6000. I backed off the idle screws on each carb equally until...

  13. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    I purchased a 1976 CB200 a few weeks ago as my first bike. I knew it didn't run, but I was excited to pick up a new hobby of working on bike engines. I got my license ten days ago - and haven't gotten to ride yet! I've cleaned the carbs and replaced the jets and gaskets. At this point I think...

  16. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    The two carbs have been rebuilt and cleaned, been rejetted slightly, and the needle slightly shimed. Per a previous post recommendation. I checked float needles. These have the plastic type float. Anyway, I left the gas line on over night and the next morning when I went out to start it i smelt...

    Anyone out there with the sloper 175cc engine with the "power jet" circuit carbs?? Can you tell me what the correct jet sizes are? My carbs came dis-assembled and I cannot find info on where the jets belong. I'm referring to the air jet at the top of the carbs that are fed to the air cleaner...
