Awesome to finally see a Sam video. Truly a beautifully crafted machine.
Id like to resurrect this thread for a question or two while I do some searching on the rest of the site....
I just built a hybrid bank of carbs for my friends 76 hondamatic 750, which utilized a majority of my original 78 k set (42B I think), and also using the vacuum advance diaphragm from the Auto set of carbs. Im now wondering if I should have just put a complete set of k8s on instead of messing with blending the two sets of carbs.
1: With that being done and said, Im having trouble with the idle returning to low with a blip of the throttle and Im wondering if I shouldve just put the carbs on without the vacuum advance from the Auto.
2: Also, I used the throttle 'cam' from the Auto and I believe its a larger circumference than the K set. My description of a throttle cam is the round device that retains both throttle cable ball ends and allows the throttle cable a groove to lay in as the throttle opens and closes. It now seems that the throttles range of nothing to WOT is about 1/2 of a revolution of the hand grip. Hope this makes scence.
Im gunna do some digging on this and possibly pm a few of the original posters but maybe a few others have a quick answer to this.......thanx, Boats,
