There is no casting numbers on k0 carbs.  The only number is on the backplate which is B750A.

Found it. B750A stamped on the mounting backplate as harisuluv mentioned, no other castings on the carbs bodies. 


Slides are stuck on all 4, going to cook them in boiler

Can someone verify or confirm that stock Main jets on these K0 carbs are 130? At least that's what I remembered from reading

This carbs set that I just bought came with 115, not surprise as they could have been changed, but only 3 main jets, missing one.  So I looked up in the local Honda parts fiche online and it shows 140, so I'm confused???

Sometimes the Honda parts fiche will show some oversized jet sizes.  Same as how there might oversized Pistons. You want a 120 most likely, although I have seen 115 also. Hondaman has cited some changes during production if you are really curious. 115 will work or you can get 120s.
