Hello, everyone. Newbie here so bear with me....
I purchased a '74 CB550 from by brother for $360 and am at the very beginning stages of building a brat bike. I've taken the carbs off and cleaned them pretty well (evaporust is awesome, buy the way). In doing so, I found out that the rubber pieces that wrap around the pieces that hold the carbs together were bad and need to be replaced. This may be a stupid question but does anyone know where to find those? Are they super specialty or something that you can pick up from auto zone or something?
Also, another potentially stupid question is: does anyone have any tips on rebuilding the carbs? I bought a rebuild kit and understand pretty much how to put it together (bought a video from howtomotorcyclerepair.com. Is there anything that I should have on hand before attempting? Do you put something to hold the gaskets on or just pressure?
Thanks in advance for any help!
