Topic: Intake rubbers,78 CB750K

[tmac]

Just a quick question If I may: All the sites I have shopped for carb rubbers only have the #1 & #3 rubbers for sale. Did Honda make 4 different rubbers for each carb or can I use 2#1s  & 2#3s ?? and just turn em till they fit?  Thanks everyone!!

All 4 are different

i asked the same question not long ago, an have still not managed to find no 2 and 4, plenty of people have said they just went with 2x no 1 and 2x no 3 which while not correct works well enough.

My new ones (2x#1s and 2x#3s) arrived this morning so going to fit them this weekend, and i'll update after i try..

I have done the xylol and wintergreen recently (my hands smell of wintergreen .  That stuff works like magic.  My K7/K8 carb insulators are very soft now.  I'm also doing the air horns (rubber between airbox and carbs). 

Don't throw away the old ones!

+1  I also had good results and my garage smelled minty-fresh for months!!

If the wintergreen doesn't work for you or they are too cracked to use, I sell reproduction insulators to fit. Here's a picture: http://classicmotorcyclesolution.com/index.php?supermode=gallery_view&previewm=1&a=boots&image=100502032820_7778cb750k-1_1_.jpg&screenres=1280-800

I went the 2 #1's and 2 #3's route on my K8 rebuild. They work perfectly. BUT, if 05c50 has a reproduction set of 4 for $30, I say check those out.
