Some assistance re venders...

No, don't recall seeing pics of carbs Peter.

Post a before and after and lets see what you mean.

Before and after,
The before are not off my bike,, and the after are not the ones fitted, seems I'm needing a number 4 carb.
The carbs that are fitted by HCR, are a complete shambles.

Presumably you have checked the photography audit trail  as well. It pretty much fraudulent what he has done - a complete con artist it seems.

Pic of the bike before it went to Daventry, my ocd would never, ever allow my carbs to get in that state, plus the after pics are definitely not on my bike, the fuel lines are cheap thin plastic, absolute junk If anyone has a number four carb for sale, , you can see the how things progress on Instagram. Cheers Peter

That looks cosmetically nice presumably you had some engine issues?

[Oddjob]

Did you have an inline filter fitted to your carbs before it went in as those have one fitted. If you didn't where have those carbs come from?

What's up with number 4 carb?

I presume the restored carbs are from Gerben, they look like his work.

It looks as if the restorers have used Gerbens photos.

no there was no inline filter on mine. I had a mate check out the pics and he done a search,, they are fake. I know Roger is getting to hear about these claims, from a member here, that's not a problem, I saw his reply to my review of his company.,it's well seeing he is a marketing guy, he spins a good story. But it's only 144 miles from Leyland to Daventry, so we will see how he responds in person when I pay my next visit. I hope he hasn't sold the company by then of course, since it's a wonderful op for some unsuspecting buyer.. The guys a cheat, and I don't appreciate being conned.

Roger at honda classics restoration says he done the work,, https://media.tenor.com/HxkGW9Wb5GUAAAAM/pinnochi

I'm wondering why whoever did those carbs felt the need to write the cylinder number on them in the throat. You can pick a carb up and know what cylinder it is just by the way the airscrew fits, the way the vents lie and the way the petrol pipes go into the body for instance. Anyone who does carbs would know all those things.

They are also marked 1,2,3 and 4 by Honda (well Keihin) as below.

Bit different that Ash, those are production marks to make them readily identifiable and they don't appear on the 500/550 for instance but I see your point, why bother when it's already there. Shows lack of confidence in their abilities to me.

Even without the marking I can tell that's number 4 cylinders carb, the brass ferrule for the venting pipe connection makes it either 2 or 4 but the drilling for the airhole as well makes it 4. The petrol joint hole would also be drilled that side if you could see it whereas number 2 would have it on the other side.

More evidence that the rebuilt carbs pics are fake, the truth comes out under close inspection.

What are we looking at there.

I studied the pic and can't see what damage he's referring to, float tab? the towers where the rod goes through?
