67` Bomber running problems

<< < (4/16) > >>

AshimotoK0:
That experience was the  4k flat-spot, as  described in the instructions for the carb kits (see below)  I was selling a couple of years ago Mo but sold 'em all now and chances of finding any more are pretty slim. The ones I had  came from the Honda UK Service Centre in Nottingham and that closed in the early 70's  I believe. (you can tell as the fitting  instructions are done on a typewriter)

A few people bought multiple kits from me and perhaps they have a spare to sell ...bit of a long shot though, Hopefully, the aftermarket parts were designed based on the upgrades but I wouldn't hold my breath there either.

Not sure about the aftermarket carb kits yourself and Roy bought .. they may address those problems dunno really. Probably why Roy is trying out later model 450 carbs.

Hi Ash

Well what can I say to that but oh Dear....... so the kits what Roy and I got don`t come with the needle Holder and the slow running jet and the pilot Jet I think were the same as Standard which i think in saying was a 35 and 38..... but can`t remember as I just put them in thinking they were the right ones.. But Roy might Know better ?

but as I say they did Not include the Needle Holder anyway...... so I am stuck Now Ash ha

I did when I got back was check Ign Timing ...the next I was going to look at was the Cam lobe clearance but did Not do that yet but if you say that was a thing that Honda offered them kits must have been a problem then ha   :'( so at that Rev`s do you think it is getting too much fuel or Not enough ?

and Not even DSS say they are No longer about :(


oh well next thing is the forks got to be stripped as also have wet oil stained jeans as lots of fork oil leaking ...... and wanted to be fit for the show on the 23rd this Month  :'(


oh has anyone got one of the rear tank rubbers.............as I was wondering why the tank keep moving about which is Not good ha ?

Cheers

Mo

oh also having trouble getting the fork seal holders undone .......... i don't want to get and spend out on a tool that I will most likely only use once ha..

and i nearly got a rear tank rubber a New old stock one for £19 but they would not ship it over............ also don`t know how it will go but put two old needles in the carbs what I found in the old parts that came with the bike which I did Not even know about, they are a little bit longer than the ones what came in them kits so don`t know what it will run like.......... but got to sort out them fork oil seals first as the mrs keep saying she fed up with washing my jeans out of the blow back of oil...... I thought you want to see the bike that's more important   ::)

Bryanj:
I might be able to use a us contact for you if the rubber is in us

Those Fork seal Holders are b*ggers to undo unless they have been removed before. Even the Honda special tool won't unfasten them sometimes, as it only has two peg mounts. My mate Graham Curtis made this tool up pictured and used it to remove mine. Problem is it also needs a bit of heat when they are REALLY difficult due to corrosion.

I thought this was a restored bike you bought Mo? ... I really feel your pain.
 
Give me a couple of weeks to try to round up the folks I sold carburettor mod.  kits to ...  to ask if they have anything spare left over. David Silvers won't have those kits ...they didn't even know of their existence.  I told them about them and gave them a copy of the fitting sheet to add to their museum's archives room.

This is Graham Curtis's home made seal holder removal tool (in use on a CB72/77 leg but same seal holder arrangement as the K0 bomber and works on those too (Bomber has alloy bottoms/CB72/77 Steel).
