CB350/400 / Re: Brake master cylinder rebuild kit
« on: August 09, 2020, 11:20:00 PM »
I attached a syringe to the bleed nipple on the caliper and sucked the fluid down whilst pumping the leaver, once fluid was in the system I just bled as normal, must add that was a 500 m/cyl

Those were the days, I used to start my mobylette by striking the magneto with my foot

Thanks, guys I would say the only thing wrong was the main jet o rings, so I will use the keyster ones, and the keyster float valves, as i accidentally mixed up the ones I removed, I will learn one day to research more before buying, got me fingers burnt with the pattern intake rubbers

CB500/550 / Carb needles
« on: May 18, 2020, 01:04:07 PM »
Hi all, just rebuilding the wife's 500 carbs after sonic clean, 4x keyster kits, in a dilemma already, needles removed are stamped 272304 and clips on no. 4 grove, no identity on the tubes, keyster needles stamped D 26 is this just keysters no. and they are the same or are they two different needles, I've fitted one with the clip on the middle groove as is usually the norm but decided to ask for comments before going further
Thanks in advance

Made these the other day, hope to be trying them out in a week or so
