Nice and clean looking carb in the photo - amazing what standing fuel does over time.
Honda CB500 K1 (new pit dug out ready)
Honda CB400 four super sport (first money pit)

Well, the carbs have been stripped and were pretty clean inside so bodies were cleaned by hand as I wanted to keep the original finish, then reassembled using the Keyster service kit with 40/110 jets (35/120 were removed) by Mark at MK Classics in Woodley. I've just refitted them to the K1 with new intake rubbers, which were about 8mm longer than the originals that came off (??). If I get time I'll refit the airbox etc tomorrow and hopefully fire the old girl up off a remote tank.

Cheers, Andrew
