Cutting Jets to size!?
« on: March 20, 2013, 04:48:32 pm »
Sorry for the double post, but this may be seen by more folks in this section.

I need a #42 pilot jet for my 1974 CB750 with 657B carbs. The problem I am coming across however is that Keihin no longer makes the 28mm long pilot jets and only 32mm long jets are available. I have done as much research as I can, but there seems to be a limited amount of info on whether or not I can use the 32mm long ones. The only other option I have is to cut them down to 28mm.

Any one else have this problem or have experience here?

The photo shows my new #42 jet next to my old #40 jet. The only difference is the length of the body, so the new #42 will stick deeper into the fuel in the bowl.
