Hmm...keen to see if this works out, as I got a slightly manky set of F2 carbs I am getting ready to overhaul.For those who never work on them (and from what I have read, I can totally get this) is there an alternative? One that doesn't involve a second mortgage anyway and one that can retain the airboxyes got everything sorted, it was expensive getting all the parts ( mostly from https://www.cmsnl.com) however took my time and got it sorted. I used air filter form the 500 series and altered airbox very slightly .
Did you fit genuine Honda or aftermarket needle jets kits?
Was going to suggest the needle profile was incorrect if they'd been aftermarket parts.BTWDid your cmsnl ones come in sealed genuine Honda bags?Because some time ago they supplied me 4 needle jet kits, two in genuine Honda bags and 2 in zip lock bags which were most obviously not genuine.I challenged them about that and was told they had been repackaged as the original bags were damaged...Anyhow back to your original problem, do the old needles fit smoothly into the new jets?
Need someone to confirm this as your PD carbs are not the same as my F1 carbs.But my new needles don't pass all the way through the needle jet. (I've got a new set here and just checked that for you.)It's also probable that your original needle jets are badly worn, (I've just checked old worn ones I've removed and the needles pass all the way through the jets.) The jets do eventually wear badly and usually become guttered oval because of the needles being sucked back and forth with the induction vacuum as the throttle is opened and closed. I can easily see the wear difference on my old needle jets by simply holding them up to the light and comparing them with the new ones.This probably doesn't help you that much but maybe someone else will be along soon that knows about PD carbs. Good luck
