They look like 750 carbs

If you decide to sell them, let me know, I may be interested.

What is the number on them?

Surely you think more of us than that don't you?

Carbs look like 750. Should be stamped 07A, 657A or B, or 086A

I took one of those seats and made this out of it

Not the best but a serviceable solo seat...Larry

Those carbs look alot like mikuni VM's.

harisuluv · « **Reply #7 on:** March 03, 2012, 10:56:00 PM »

Those carbs are off a cb750. From the caps I can tellnthey are post 72. The holes for the fuel line also indicate a later model. It is also off a K model judging from the spring assembly and the lack of the protruding super sport castings on the front. Certain parts that were treated to resist corrosion were in 75 and 76 and they don't really look like that--they look more silver than gold. So--probably a 73 or 74 cb750k rack.

HGSR · « **Reply #8 on:** March 03, 2012, 11:20:22 PM »

any benefit to running them on a 550?

harisuluv · « **Reply #9 on:** March 03, 2012, 11:34:21 PM »

The manifolds are different not to mention everything else. I don't really see it as a practical "mod"

The zinc-plated parts on the stay plate were chromated in 75-76, hence the gold color.

@ budlite I was wondering after you ask for the numbers HGSR never came back with them. But I see now he did not know where to look. I see all the time people ask a question and they don't tell any one if it was fix or not. I think every one would like to know the out come. I guess people get to busy to follow up.

Great! Those are likely from a '73. The mains should be 110's.

@bollingball............ok.

HGSR · « **Reply #22 on:** March 04, 2012, 02:19:50 PM »

Do you have a set of 550 carbs u would part with? Iam in need because mine are broken where the float hangs. MSG me a offer as well tho....

WhyNot2 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 04, 2012, 02:23:57 PM »

Don't have 550 carbs......

bryanj · « **Reply #24 on:** March 05, 2012, 06:44:28 AM »

You can use carbs from a 500/550 1971 through to 1976 inclusive if you swap the jets on the 500 ones. 550 are better but the 500 will work. Should be lots of sets out there
