Carbs 657A vs 069A
« on: December 09, 2008, 05:31:40 AM »
I have a 1972 CB750K

My mish-mash carbs are stamped 657A & B   All needles and jets are the same.   However a few of the jet holders/posts are on the verge of cracking

I can get some 069A carbs from Cleveland.    Anybody know if these particular carbs would work ?   I can always take the jets & needles out of
my old carbs if that's the only difference.   Hopefully this would work - anybody know for sure ?

Are you aware that 069A carbs are 550F carbs?

I think that the later 750F/F1 carbs are 064A. These are the same but may need you to change some jets
