Why take a chance with some yahoo trying to "match them up"?

Why not just buy the proper, high quality Honda part? To save a buck?

I agree. While it might work, it would suck to be chasing an issue and then second guessing if what you thought would work is actually working.

That's a o ring for a 1977 Honda cb400f. Note the Honda part #. The look at the size. Can be bought by size and not Honda part #.

Hmm I was under the impression that was a place where vacuum leaks could occur. After the carb holders.

Use the fiche, man!  ::)  ;D  helps everyone know what part we're talkin'bout.
Viton o-rings can be bought cheap at theoringstore.com with the size listed on the fiche, or directly thru a honda dealership if you have the part #

I never even managed to get those intake spigots off -- I assumed they were some kind of special case with permanent threadlocker or something. I doubt MRieck removed them when he did my head either. I don't think it's something to worry about.

The carb boots clamp to the stub outs on the head no oring.  You can still buy new OEM boots from Davidsilverspares.com

I checked out one of those cheap kits but seem to remember that some specific sizes I needed for a 750 engine were not in the kit. Found a good seller on E-bay and ordered the specific sizes I needed for the engine and carbs. That kit is handy though to have around the shop I'm sure.
