'78 750F jet sizing question
« on: September 20, 2017, 06:52:34 AM »
Just wanted to be sure I'm thinking about this correctly. I have a 1978 cb750f with stock air box/filter, mac 4-1 header, and 12" cone engineering straight core muffler.

The PO rebuilt the carbs with #118 mains and #38 slow jets(he had pods...).

Stock is 105 and 35, so I'm thinking I should go back to 35 slow and use 110's for the mains - does this sound right to you guys?

Thanks!

You'll want 38s...maybe even 40's for pilot jets.  An idle plug chop w the 38s, and IMS adjustments, will tell you if you need to go to 40s
Try the 110s for mains.  Going back to a stock airbox richens the mixture too much to keep the 118s

Do you still have the pods?  I would be interested if in good shape.  Good brand like K&N

Weren't the f's 110 or 115 main stock?  And the K's were 105's?

The pods were just no name cheap stuff...

Confirmed from the Honda parts list that the '78 F had 105's and the '78 K had 110's.

I actually have some 110's taken from an old set of '78 K carbs that I can swap out - they look perfect - not having to buy things is nice!
