K3 Carb issue

<< < (2/3) > >>

SteveD CB500K0:
Who is Paul?  Do we know him?  (must do as loads of links to sohc4.net)

z1100r:
Paul Gabor....I've not been around here long enough to know...but he's across the pond and organises some sort of SOHC/4 world tour.

SteveD CB500K0:
OK. Got him.

His forum name is 05c50 - I didn't know that he was making parts!

z1100r:

  Well he seems a top bloke and 4 new rubbers are on their way to me now for 50 bucks...not bad really for re-manufactured new ones. $15 is post.

  I have to do this because the stock carbs on a stock airbox are so restrictive its rediculous. I opened up my airbox - bit with the filter in - years ago to let the engine breath, and I conseqently needed to mess around with all carb jets, needles, and screws to get it to run super smooth again. My airbox has holes in the rear and on the bottom. I simply couldn't get push in jets for the stock carbs - quickly and at a reasonable price anyway, and I allready had a bucket load of screw in jets from racing, so 550 carbs it was. My original 500 carbs have been on a shelf for 25 years but still look in very good nick.

 When I was looking for the new chrome points cover I found some other bits I bought new years ago. A couple of clutch pushrods, 4 carburettor repair kits, brake kits, plus my original switch gear - I'm defo putting my cruise control back on..!!!

Just in case you didn't know, you will have to pay Import Duty on them, my velocity stacks cost me $85 delivered, but Her Majesty's Robbers and Crooks nicked a further 16 quid on arrival!
