Hey all--
This may not be the right place to sell these, since I really need to recoup some costs and can't let them go too cheap, but I thought I'd post them here just in case. I'll try to get pictures up this afternoon at lunch.
I just got a spare set of carbs bored for my 466cc kitted cb400f, so I've got my stock carbs up for sale. I may do Ebay if this doesn't work out...
These carbs are off a 1977 model with 6k miles. The bowls and bell tops are polished, and the bodies were de-racked and thoroughly cleaned by me last year and have been in operation ever since (1500 miles of use).
I have jetted them back to stock, 75 mains and 40 pilots, but needles are one notch lean from center. All internal components were inspected and cleaned replaced 1500 miles ago (new jets, new o-rings, gaskets, stock needles retained, new float valves). Floats are set to 21mm and carbs were bench synched and then vacuum synched on the bike with a Morgan Carbtune.
Known issues:
--one overflow nipple is broken off at the bowl, no big deal--I've never had gas drip out of them anyway.
--one or two felt washers for the linkage arm are missing I think (can be recut, but I never felt the need--no pun intended....)
--rubber dust seals for the linkages are long gone, but carbs operate fine without them, and I haven't rebuilt a set of these where the rubber didn't disintegrate on the spot).
--some corrosion from crappy fuel on the main jet posts, but they seal perfectly fine.
Special for this crew:
These carbs are very clean and in perfect working order, but I spray painted the mounting rack (not the carbs) black, and some of that is starting to peal off. If someone here buys the carbs and wants me to, I will de-rack the carbs, strip and clean the mounting rack, soda blast the carb bodies, and reassemble everything and bench sync the carbs. i'll even put the needles back to stock position if you want. This is probably about a 3-4 hour job total (or less if I improve my home-made soda blaster design...).
Price: $230 + shipping. I'll try to get pics up at lunch.
