Not sure what the differences are.  I know there are specific carbs for K0/sandcast and the later F2/K7, with the accelerator pump  but the K1->K6 /F1 ones, I thought would have been pretty much the same bodies. Over to the experts ( Trigger / Bryan/ Bitsa etc ??)

I do have a pair of outer bodies for K7/F2 as well  somewhere if anyone ever needs them.

Basically the same body's Ash but, for the price of the post it is worth trying to match.
I still have the set of 857A's that i can't find any reference to. I have the set of 064A, 657A and the 857A and can't find what the difference is.

Well I found the spare outer carb. but I think it must be the Left one because the air screw is on the opposite side to the one in your picture. However one of the inner ones looks almost identical to yours but the vacuum take off is on the other side, which may be livable with. Trig what do you think?

Will post pics tomorrow as I am away tonight.

Thanks Ash, I will follow that post closely.
I have glued the carb post with Seal All. Although it is an ex-broken carb, it'll do until I find the proper replacement. Yesterday I splashed some £ £ £ on 4 carbs repair kit from David Silver. Hopefully they will be here tomorrow.
Thanks

Sorry for delay. Got this back from US site:

Re: Difference 064A and 657A CB750 carbs

657a and 064a bodies are interchangeable. Stamp only denotes which internals were installed at the factory. Unless you get real creative you cant swap positions due to the crossovers and vent tubes.

The 657A carbs are not emission-controlled, the 064 versions are. The difference was/is in the taper of the idle air screws, which control the mixture to 2500 RPM, which [at the time] was the upper RPM limit for the EPA tests. In practice, the 7/8 - 1-1/8 turn mixture change of the 657 carbs is about 15% richer/leaner than the 64 series, due to more accurate tolerances in the later carb.

But, they will work fine together: you may find the 64 air screw must be set a bit further out than the other carbs, like 1/16 turn more, to make the plugs all the same color after 500 miles or so.


THIS IS WHAT I HAVE GOT ..PLEASE CHECK IF IT LOOKS SUITABLE AND THEN I WILL US CLEAN IT

I'm not sure why oil pressure light doesn't come on. I have removed all the oil from the engine and have half of the tank left.  Do you suggest I kickstart it rather than press the starter button?

it is VERY important to have a working oil pressure light,

 the motor needs to be spun either by kicking,or starter  before starting,enough to enshure you have oil pressure,

 without that,you will ruin all your hard work in less than 60 seconds !!!!

suggest you check the oil switch.wiring and bulb

That's why I like my oil pressure gauge that's the only Yankee mod I agree with.

    As per 400/4, with the ignition on, try the wire from the oil switch to earth somewhere, it should light the oil lamp, if it does the oil switch is u/s, if it doesn't, there is a wiring fault
