I found the problem or should I say the solution. The the tank breather was rusted shut and was not breathing. I cleaned it and verified the proper function. I also turned the petcock to where the two outputs were level. This made the flow two both carburetors even and the flow was even better...

Redbird The clear lines are killing me but air bubbles would be great to see, how about a small trickle(that all i get when running)! The breather vents on the carbs are clear. I will also do the open line test tonight also. Its a great idea.

It is rattle can paint for now. The color is a GM match and i think the color was liquid sliver metallic. It was the same as my wifes 07' Acadia. Hope that helps.

Gasket is a little dried out and off center slightly, not bad. There is some small rust on the cap.

I will do, when I get home this evening. I have tried to get flow with the tank open, but not with it running. That make sense!

I am scratching my head here. I have a cb450K7 that has a fuel flow problem. Here is what I have done so far. I have replaced the petcock with a new stock one, cleaned the carbs, checked the floats, verified sliders are free, all jets are good, fuel needle is allowing fuel to flow, replaced the...

Roccitycafe Here is the CB seat you built for my CB450Twin!

Find the millimeter of the outside diameter and get another type filter as I have! By the way any change will possibly cause a leaner condition and a possible change in jetting, but maybe only a small adjustment in the fuel screw if at stock setting. I payed only $15.00 per pod. :)

In my opinion it must also be a Harley killer! In one way or another. I say roll up and smoke the shit out of the Harley and at the next light invite the LOSER to a beer at the Pub! He is most likely to desire the bike that beat him. That feels great!!!!!! ;D

Isn't that the reverse of my CB450 that is shown in my avatar? ???

For a reply do you have to post a photo? Has anyone herd of a lean out studder? Here is a photo to entice!!!!!!!!!!! Not quite sure what the pthot is but the help seems to come after a photo. :D ;D ::) :-*

sounds good I will look into it and get back! :D

Go ahead and show me the options. I am always looking to make things better. Do you think I could cut the seat back about 4" to get the right look? That is what I was thinking!

The shocks are the showa 328 that are 12.5 eye to clevis. Maybe the photos are off due to the slanted driveway. Here in the Alps nothing is level. ;D This should blow your mind! I have to cross two passes at 11000' and 12000' to get to Denver. I would never try that on a vintage bike without a...

sorry the photo was too big!

You might think I am, but just the fine life we enjoy here in the Vail Valley of Colorado! We fish too!!!!

Turns out with a friend that is a Harley tech, the problem was actually a lean stutter and not a rich setting. I could not find jets local so my buddy bored the jets to 160 and with the fuel screws out two turns we found a setting that was close. I think that I will bore them to 165 and turn...

Not much progress other than installing all the mocked up parts( seat, lights,and so on). Ran into an issue with the carbs/ignition and have been stumped for days. I posted on the help section and am getting advice. Will update when more is done.

I pulled main jets only to find 150's and thought they were 130's. Is this my problem?

I am jealous, you must bee on the front range by the photos. I took a ride as well from Eagle to Wolcott on highway 6 and my bike was having issues so turned around. Could you let me know when you ride I would like to join y'all sometime. I can load the CB450 and drive over to your side for a...
