Hi, This is my first time posting here, so sorry if i have got this post in the wrong section here.
So i have a 1976 Honda CJ360T i am trying to get up and running.
I have has the carburetor apart and gone through putting new seals through everything.
The model of carburetor is a Keihin 759A
I have ready many post and specs, but all seam to vary quiet a bit.
What i am hoping someone might be able to help me out with is:
1. the correct float level height, ( i have heard anything from 16mm, 18.5mm, 20mm )
I did sit the carburetor upside down and set them to 16.mm and the bike wouldn't fire, taken them back out, set them up at 90 degrees as per a manual i found and found this measurement to be close to 18mm, so not much different from measuring them upside down or at 90 degrees.
2. The number of turns out from fully seated for the air pilot screw ( i think that is what it is called ) Mine had a black cap on the end that flicks off and then you have the screw.
( I have heard 2 turns out from flush and also 1 5/8 turns out from flush)
3. What size wire to use to set the butterflies open with, ( i have heard of people using guitar wire to set them, just looking for a size of wire to use )
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
