carbs cleaned- metal question
« on: October 01, 2008, 07:01:33 AM »
Thanks to the group for the advise on carb cleaning...  One quick question...the float bowl and carb top are a different metal... so they appear very different to the carb body.   After I cleaned my carbs up... they didn't appear like the photo from an article I found on line...

Are these replacement pieces? Or is this normal?

Thanks again to everyone for their help.

The Honda CB's had polished float bowls and carb tops, throughout the line. So, what you have is 100% stock.
