A very long-shot 350F carb question
« on: January 15, 2007, 11:36:32 AM »
My dealer is closed, and the suspense is killing me...I was exactly one year and 5 min. out from the start of the my project to firing it up.  Anything that could leak did not, or so I thought.  Has anyone tried to get the fuel interconnects for 350F carbs?  They are small platic hollow cylinders theat are o-ringed twice per side for a total of 4.  They connect carb one to two and three to four.  Two and three get their fuel from a similar fitting that is a "T" and happens to be metal.  Perhaps Honda decided to save weight and made these out of plastic!  They are both cracked in my carb rack.  Any part#'s?  I can have them made but I can't wait that long, does Honda still offer these up?

I know exactly what part you are talking about.  I have a 350F, too.  Here is a parts diagram of the  350F carbs.

Unfortunately these parts are not numbered.  your best bet would be to get a set off eBay.  i bought a full bank for about $19 plus shipping for using as spare parts.
If you could find a part number, www.servicehonda.com will probably have them.
Good luck. If all else fails, try to extract the parts and use super glue to  fix them together.

Try this sight. Enter your bike year and type and then select the carburator specs from the drop down. Should have the part numbers you need.

Thanks for the replys...  I cannot find a part number at all (nor can my dealer) for these pieces or the "T" fitting that goes between carb 2&3!! The "T" is metal, and is the same dimension as The plastic fittings in length and diameter...of course with the addition of the pipe the fuel line connects to.  I thought surely there will be a PN# for that...WRONG!  I could take 2 of them and cut of the fuel pipe and seal the hole...that won't even work.  One year, dozens and dozens of part (Custom exhaust 4 into 4 CR 750 tank,CR450 seat pan, relocated electrics, fly screen, clip ons.....) and it comes down to a part, that according to Honda, DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can probably get them made, but damn!

That sucks.  Have you tried a small engine place?  They have a lot of small diameter fuel fittings.  Found some fuel line for my 400 there.  If all else fails, maybe get some small fuel line and slide it over the "T" to seal it up?  Just thinking of a home brewed solution.

How 'bout some pics of this 350?  Sounds pretty sweet.

Host the pics on photobucket.com.  It's free.

You can then link them to this site without having to downsize so much.

It would still help the load time for us dial-up users if you could compress them. I know, I know, I need to enter the 21st Century and get broadband.

I would be happy to e-mail a pic or two to someone tomorrow from work and have you post it on this thread...I really want to do a nice write-up on my build for all in the near future (the 350's are under represented!!), but I will offer up a few teaser pics until I get around to it...if anyone is interested  The avatar is a Paul Smart Replica Ducati.  I am not pissing around with finding these replacement parts, I am having them machined....my dealer said  "Hmmm thats really crazy, I don't see any part numbers for those parts..."

"hundreds of high res build pics"
are you trying to torture us?
i will post your bike porn for you if you want, my email is in my profile, but any graphics program or photo import program should have an option to export a pic in a smaller size or lower resolution format. 
alternatively you can sign up at photobucket.com.  upload your pics there and then all you need to do is type in the image address and it will appear in a message like this:

regardless of size.
good luck with the bits

It's actually an '07 Ducati Sport 1000S.  Like the Paul Smart replica, but with dual exhaust on either side.  I've got to own either that bike or a Guzzi Griso one day.  My Italian heritage must be satisfied with a Tricolore version of one of those.  And I miss the feel of torque after riding just the 400 for a few years.

Dial up?  Do you install that on 8 track?

...sorry, just got a cable modem last month...don't know how I lived without it.
