O-ring placement on #98 Main Jets from KEYSTER Kit KH-0151 for CB550F
« on: July 05, 2005, 11:54:10 AM »
All of my Main Jets came with their o-rings in the groove *nearest* the actual jet orifice itself, as opposed to the #100 KieHin Mains that came with my carburetors, which have the o-ring in the groove *furthest* from the actual jet orifice.

Sorry for the crap camera phone picture, but anyone have any thoughts on this inconsistency?

Is the o-ring placement in the Keyster kits consistent?  Keep in mind these are put together by people who have NO idea what these things are.

Follow the original jet as a reference.  That being said, Honda OEM jets are only a few $$$ each.  Buy Honda ones.  The expensive part of OEM carbs is the needle - $30 each.

Yeah, I agree, just use the originals as a guide. When I got my spare jets they just had the o-rings in a separate bag. On a separate note, a VERY small amount of grease on the o-ring when you are pushing it into the Needle jet really helps!
Cheers,
Ben.
