Topic: Newbie looking for some carb insulators!

[kbarn]

Hello all!

I'm new to this forum and to the world of hondamatics.  I recently bought a 1976 cb750a which runs ok, but could benefit from some new carb insulators.  Does anyone know where I can get some?  I've looked everywhere and can't find any.  Any help would be appreciated.

So your looking to rebuild the carbs ?

new insulators - pretty much unobtainable.

used ones can be "brought back to life" somewhat - lots of posts on that topic.

some upgrade to older carbs (older boots remain available) - as you get a performance boost as well.

Thanks. That's kind of what I expected.  I'll probably try getting some different carbs then.

I just put on some 75 carbs on my 78 750A. Works good. You will also need to replace the cables.

HI  Need some too i have discovered thet Car Coolant hoses are 1.25 ID which are the same appow dia as 1977 Carb/Cyl mounts so i am going to cut up
haose and make them myself

Be careful using regular coolent hose; it's likely the ethenol will attack it.  The blue automotive hose (silicone??) has been use before, and seems to stand up.

There's  #1 and #2 insulators on ebay right now.

Working well in three Matic´s

+1

And the #1 and #2 insulators work on #3 and #4 (just turned upside down).  Pricey though - I recall them being about $40 a pop.  Still cheaper than another carb set (and insulators for the new carbs).
