Honda CB expert in Berks/Hants
« on: June 08, 2016, 07:56:16 PM »
Hi,

I need an expert to have a fettle at the carbs on my cb500.

Can anyone recommend someone in the SE preferable near Basingstoke/Reading area.

Thanks

Hi Tom. Thanks for your message.

I'm no expert, but to understand the workings of the various jets in the carbs and what rev/throttle range they control, start here:

That's flash and it's trebled my knowledge straight away! Like it.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Thanks Steve, i have now got it running so much better;
Clip position 3(standard) and 130main jets have made an improvment.  Still a flat spot about 1/4 throttle, im thinking i need to move clip to position 4(bottom position)

Thoughts?
