Finally got round to fitting new piston and seals in each calliper but I've found that on both sides the wee spring clip that passes through both retaining rods and over the shim are missing.No 3 in the diagram .. I can't find replacements anywhere inc Dave silver! My question is are these vital as I'm assuming they have been missing for many years ?

Cheers for that it is indeed siezed up... mines a brass spacer rather than plastic but copious amounts of carb cleaner, a guitar string and a compressor seem to have freed things up. Just to put back together and try now.... once it stops pouring down that is 👍

Well after 3 carb tear downs and cleans I just can't get the accelerator pump to work..it seems to pump well up through the one way valve in the top of the float bowl when the rod is pushed by hand , you get a good jet of fuel, and running carb cleaner through the little brass jet in the carb body with a syringe results in a jet from each of the four posts but put it all together and you get nothing  , I've checked and double checked the actuator arm gap... there appears to be a home made o ring between the float bowl and body in the hole where the valve is but didn't seem to obscure the valve... I'm starting to pull out my hair with this one now, any ideas great fully recived

Hi krzychu, it's a RC03 1979 with PD51A carbs so uk spec. After new plugs leads and caps it's now running ok on the stand (front calipers in bits at moment so unable to see how it behaves under load, with the 120 mains stock pilots and pods) seems to rev freely through the range although running leaner on No 1 than the other 3 pots. I think a lot of the problem was that I hadn't noticed that the PO hadn't reconnected the choke spring on the carbs properly so although 1&2 were functioning properly 3&4 were always a good 1/4 " off closing fully

Update- got it up under its own steam, mixture of plug gap and choke butterfly's on carb 1&2 not closing fully, only running on 3 pots but think it's plug on no2 as couldn't get socket in to get it out, runs rough and only on full choke bet hey it's a start

Yea fuel isn't that fresh so went and got some fresh this morning, drained tank and refuelled, put carbs back on "again" after checking mains and pilots clear ect and it still won't go, gonna try putting the 92 mains back in just in case the 120's are just to bigger step up, beginig to run out of ideas now .....frustrating because I know it runs

Well finally found the time to try the advice given, mixture adjustments and filter restrictions had no effect but it does fires up on easy start so I'm guessing it's a carb problem, so back to the kitchen table they go, any thoughts?

Thanks for the advice suggestions guys, I will try/check these and post results up here. Fingers crossed

Hi Paul, yea fuel fresh, electronic ign so no points, new spark units put on by previous owner but have had a look at timing and looks ok as per book. Looking at plugs 1&4 they only just look damp after turning it over. I'll have to go and get some easy start and try that, was (probably wrongly) assuming that as it was only 3 months since it was last started carbs would be clear still

Hi guys, I'm having major problems getting the bike to fire up, it spins up fine on the starter and try's to fire but just won't catch. Bit of history: when I bought the bike it was starting and running to a point, was leaking fuel from overflow on Carb #3 and it was struggling on any more than 1/4 throttle. the guy I got it from had put pod filters on but not done anything else to the carbs. What I've done: removed carbs, upped main jets from stock 92's to 120's, given them a bit of a clean (although they were fairly clean inside) sorted stuck float valve on #3, checked float heights which were all over the place so set them to the stock 12.5 mm across the board. The pilot screws were all over the place to ranging from 3 turns to almost all the way out so these were set to the stock 1.5 turns. I have spark, I'm getting some fuel through, the boots look good, the only thing I can see is a small weep from #4 float bowl which shouldn't stop it starting at least?? Anybody able to share some wisdom

Cheers Jueby  that's just what I was looking for, the only thing I can't seem to find on there is the acc pump diaphragm for the RC 03, they only seem to have the RC 05 one, which looks like it has a much shorter shaft on it. Do you know if the CB750 K2 one is the same as it looks to have the longer shaft?

Hi, do any of you know where to source these from, I seem to be struggling to find any one who stocks the kits for this carb, or is there an alternative, say the 750 for example, it's really just the gaskets, accelerator pump diaphragm and o rings I'm in need of, cheers
