I'm having a hard time finding a rebuild kit for these carbs, anyone have any info on that?

most helpful post since i started this thread. thanks cxman

I posted a pic of the carb, and 1 and 2 both are the same. Side note my 550k1 only has two jets. a slow and a main but its not a CV stlye carb.

Thanks fresh, I came across that link once forgot to save it. I've been looking for it.

Could be the reason my bike isn't running? I believe thats where the secondary or primary Main jet goes. However the passage doesn't seem to lead anywhere or have threads?

I'm working on a 83 450 Nighthawk and want to ditch the stock exhaust, looking to build a custom 2 into 1 with a Yoshi pipe. Some help I need is pipe sizing, length, things to avoid. Also I want it to sound nice, I heard a Mac 2 into 1 on youtube and i was less than impressed. Am I going to be...

No, I figured its all stock, there shouldn't be a need to.

wet and sooty

didn't notice any holes in the diaphrams. all soft meterial Orings and such have been removed prior to toluene soak.

Stock jets and airbox. welding tip cleaner, and carb clearner, now soaking in toluene. and tip cleaner. I don't have an ultrasonic(would love to get one though)

I'm working on a 83 Nighthawk 450, all stock. It seems to start hard and will not rev pass half throttle. It seems to be running rich. Here is what I've done/checked so far - Cleaned the carbs, and now cleaning them again Checked the coil seems to be ok Checked timing seems to advance as it...

So I working on a '83 450 Nighthawk and I bought a '80 750F tank. Here's the bike i'm working on Here's the tank on my 550K1

Nice job!!! I hope ours turns out half that good. :thumbs up:

Nice work man, I'm going to have to try an do that my self. Did you staple your vinyl on? or how did you attach it?

Re: 79 Honda CM400T - Nerdsports Racer Anxious to see that thing done, nice work man!!!! I'm working on a 83 Nighthawk, same engine and frame but much uglier tank.
