CB750 K0 what needle position?
« on: August 01, 2009, 12:26:31 PM »
I'm in the process of rebuilding the carbs on my K0 and was wondering if anyone had any insight into what the best needle position would be with my setup: emgo (supposedly slightly restrictive) air filter, original HM300's with some pretty good holes in the uppers, and 120 main jets. Thanks.

Middle position is where it came,Your pipes are a little less restrictive and your filter a little more,try it in the middle.Bill
