Honda CB750 K1 Carb bowl gaskets

<< < (3/3)

Oddjob:
I don't think the petrol is a big problem, well not on the 500/550, you really only use it to get the gasket into place and after that once it's in place they tend to adapt to the shape and stay in place. I had to remove one of the bowls after just one day in order to heli-coil a thread that had stripped out, bowl came off with small strings of glue still adhering but the O-Ring itself was firmly in place and didn't move at all.

You really only need them to stay in place whilst you fit the bowls, it's not like you remove bowls every few weeks, just occasionally.

Nurse Julie:
The 750K carbs are nothing like the 500/550. The 750 is a flat rubber gasket, not o'ring that is stuck to the flat surface of the carbs not on the float bowls Ken and the float bowls are not held on by screw, but by a spring clip.
