73’ CB350F carb reassembly
« on: June 22, 2024, 10:06:06 AM »
Pretty much done getting carbs reassembled & back on the rack. One thing bothers me: the black fuel connection btw carbs 1 & 2 with 2 o-rings on ea end: I have a noticable gap btw the shoulder of the fuel connector and the carb body. Both the o-rings on the end that goes into #2 are fully inside the hole. I just cant get the gap to close up like the one btw 3 & 4🤷‍♂️

Best advice I can give you is to see if Motormac's video's can help. Language is German but you can opt for subtitles. images speak for themselves. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Honda+CB+350+400+Four+Vergaser+Montage+Carburetor+Assembly+Part+1

Yes, I have been using his videos and they were very helpful, language didn’t really matter much, it was the visuals I needed. And I just fixed this, I didn’t want to have to take number one off, but I did and second try it snugged up shoulder to shoulder just fine.

One more question: how many turns in does this screw go once the shoulder is flush?  I think the German dude was saying 2.5 turns in?

Turn that screw in once the carbs are assembled. As soon as you see the slide start to lift, stop. Do them all the same.
