Motor is looking good

Thanks!

If you know the dimensions for the jets, send them to me. I'll cut them this weekend if I get a chance.

So the measurements are 11mm diameter and 6.3mm deep. I don't know what size the metering hole is or how high it's raised as BPellerine mentioned.
I need complete measurements to make it correctly. Have someone diagram them and I'll see about cutting some up

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Thanks for the help edwardmorris but this is for the later (smaller) style oil jets. I'm not sure why it say K0-K8 on the diagram. It seems up to the early K2 heads had early "puck" style jets. I've attached a pic of what they looked like snagged from a quick Internet search.

Drats! Sorry I should have read further back. The only person I know who could have spares is Bill Benton (if you haven't already tried).

No problem! I'm still working on Mr. Bill to source some for me out of his mystical CB750 cave.......or spend $500 on a benchtop lathe and try to make my own.

Here's some pics of my restored gauges. I did the ole paint-can-opener-pry-trick to bend back the backside of the chrome retaining ring. Of which I was able to reuse once it put them back together. The black cover was blasted and powdercoated, new faces from our site sponsor CB750faces.com (excellent product), needle tips painted, and chrome back plates got a quick buff.





I thought this was kind of cool, the old plate faded except where the needle rested above. To me that meant the bike sat outside and weathered the elements for a decade or two.









now to put em on the bike............
