Sounds like you've got a smart approach. Thin line between fucking yourself up on meds or going mad through pain.

Neevo,
My bowls and caps look crappy too, so mine are getting a coat of Eastwood ceramic high temp engine paint.

Yeah I saw in your thread that they needed some extra attention. I'm probably just going to give mine a quick polish.

 

[SONICJK]

I would but I don't have a buffer! I guess I could use the die grinder......hmmmm

 

[neevo]

I'd prefer not to as I'm not mega keen on the look, but understand why many do it now as they still look crappy after cleaning them up.

 

[SONICJK]

Yup. I'm going to try paint, even though its failed me in the past. This new paint seems to be holding up pretty well to gas in my tests. I don't particularly care for highly polished stuff.

Question peeps! Just about to push the button on some carb parts (Keihin genuine jets, slow and mains) and genuine Honda gasket kits (bowl gasket, top gasket and o-rings). That would nearly have the carbs 100%... except!!!

1. I still need to find the interconnecting rubber tubes for what I assume are the vent tubes. Any ideas where to look?
2. I'm missing 2 of the metal pucks that help to align the carbs (assuming I should have more than 1). Where can I get these too?

 

[neevo]

Found some 2mm viton rubber tubing on eBay I reckon should work for #1:

Its quite thick though at 5mm OD. That's way thicker than stock, will this cause any issues?

Not sure what you mean about pucks for aligning carbs, I'll need a picture and post later, I'm off to bed, it's 6:48am

 

[BCBarker]

Those mettal pucks are total PAINS to keep track of.... seems like you should be able to make some though... only 6mm posts.. x 10mm long-ish. or so. Chuck up a little aluminum in a drill press and turn some! dug out the tensioner yesterday. I'll post pics in a few.

 

[Daedalus]

for hose you could try pirtek or enzed, they should have something similar to the stock size.

Seems to move freely.

When the chain is loose it carves into pivot nd causes a burr.
I've spent many 'happy hours' pushing the pins out and fixing them :

 

[BCBarker]

hope those happy hours were with a drink too!

 

[crazypj]

Unfortunately not ;D

Brian do you have a pic of the pin front on? I'll take it I think if that's ok with you. Just let me know what I owe you.

 

[BCBarker]

I'll snap a pic when I get back. Cost of shipping. If you want to do a flat rate box I'll stuff it with the primary chain and any other bits I have from that motor. It's 17.00 for the small flat rate box.

Cheers Brian, done! Can you PM me your Paypal address again and I will zip the money over now.

Looking for carb vent connecting hose and found some silicone rubber tube. Is that a problem for a carb vent hose?

 

[BCBarker]

Some silicone holds up to fuel, some doesn't... But if its only venting and not in direct contact with liquid then you may be fine.
