My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
We can all make mistakes - some are just not honest enough to own up for fear of looking foolish.
I famously rode my 400 on two cylinders on several journeys of popping & banging as I had the plug leads on wrong.
My late father told me that the only people never make a mistakes - never do anything. ::) ::) ::)

I have stripped them ready for cleaning and was feeling quite pleased with myself when I saw a small spring that I hadn’t accounted for, it’s not from the internals for sure, I’m confident it is from the hardware on the outside somewhere and I’m sure I can figure that out.
What really stumped me was the diaphragms that I ordered from NRP, I realise that I have no idea how to change them, can they be done without cutting the plastic holding rings, I’m sure they aren’t called plastic holding rings but hopefully you know what I mean!!
Not sure if you have discussed this yet? when re-installing the slides and diaphragms into the carbs the slides need to be put in the correct orientation with the 2 holes in the bottom toward the rear of the bike. I found out the hard way! if not correct the slide will "hammer" and after less then 25 miles it was all buggered and locked up and leaned one side out. Pipe immediately turned blue.
It would have been nice if Honda put a pin and a slot like almost all the other models.

You know the saying, 'The person who never made a mistake never made anything'.
Well done for finding the problem 👍
Craizeehair:
Thank you, re the orientation of the slides, I did see a video that advised this, fingers crossed I manage to get that one right!
Craizeehair:
I’ve put some more bits back on the bike and am getting close to see if I can get it running for the summer.
What I did only just notice is the lever for the choke won’t drop all the way down, the lever catches on the carb body. The butterflies open and close in unison and looks ok in that respect.
Could it just be a case of bending the arm out a bit to clear the body or is there likely to be more to it?
