Hi,
My name if Rick Denoon, you can check out some of my work at www.denoonsp.com
I have been boring carbs for the CB400F for about 5 years now, and have done probably 20 sets in that time. I thought that there might be a bigger market for CB500/550 carbs because more guys seemed to be modifying them compared to the 400F.
A friend was working on a 550 project so I borrowed his carbs, built the jigs, and bored his carbs. Unfortunately he abandoned the project before we ever got to test the carbs
I posted almost a year ago on the SOHC board that I had the jigs ready to go to bore CB500/550 carbs. Since then, I have not done a single set of 500/550 carbs. In the same time I have done about 8 sets of 400F carbs. So, my thinking is that maybe people want to hear from someone who have actually tried the bored carbs.
I posted this same offer on the SOHC board, got a couple of nibbles, but nobody who actually stepped up and sent the carbs to be bored.
To that end, I am looking for a couple of people who would be willing to send me their carbs to be bored, for no charge. You pay shipping both ways (hence "almost free"). I am located in Canada, so shipping is about $25 each way.
You can review the detail of the boring at http://www.denoonsp.com/carb-boring-cb500-cb550.htm
My only stipulations are;
1. I am looking for a couple of different stages of engines, a stock one, and one that maybe has a pipe/cam so I can get a bit of a variance in the results.
2. I need the person to be timely in re-assembling the carbs and getting them installed and tested. I don't want to have to wait until next year to get some feedback.
3. I need the person to be somewhat proficient in jetting carbs. You may have to go thru a few different setups to get things right, and I need someone who is willing to put in that effort.
4. You need to be willing to post a review (good or bad) after the carbs are back and installed.
Please contact me direct at rdenoon@mts.net
Thanks
