Need help finding O-ring
« on: October 05, 2010, 08:01:10 PM »
I am almost ready to put the carbs back in and I just need 4 o rings, see image, for the jets (not sure of the exact name). Ive been everywhere locally I can think of to find the parts, but no luck. Does anyone know where I can get these specific ones? Thanks.

I was able to make o-rings from a Harbor Freight assortment kit work but it is best to buy a rebuild kit.  good luck

Are you saying these have been discontinued by Honda or unavailable at your dealer?? Most of our parts must be ordered by the dealers from Honda's warehouses if they are still being manufactured.

As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

There is no Honda dealer close to where I live, and the one place that I can order OEM honda parts from says it cant get just the O rings in, and I have to order the whole rebuild kit.

15177-551-004 if you can get  it which is doubtfull. Its 4.2x1.1 which is also not easy to find
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).
