750 K7 needle position
UKROBK7:
Anyone know what the stock needle position is on the 1977 750 K7 (UK model) to give me a base setting? The bike is being completely rebuilt with new stock exhaust and rebuilt engine. I am now overhauling the carbs and it's obvious that they have been apart in the past but I don't know if the person messed with the needle position. The clips are in the top (leanest position) groove on all carbs. My Honda (genuine) manual has a diagram showing them in the middle position but makes no mention of the position in the write-up. As I have found inaccuracies in the manual before I don't really trust it!!

Hi Rob, i would put them in the middle setting i'm pretty sure thats the standard setting ;), buy others may know different :), cheers Mick.
UKROBK7:
Thanks Mick. A Canadian contact has said that it should be at the top (leanest) position for the K7 as the needle is given as F2D51E-1, apparently the -1 in the number means top clip position.

Hi Rob, i'm not familiar with the K7, but i'm glad someone with more knowledge helped you out have you tried our sister site in the USA theres a lot more members on there for help aswell , ;) cheers Mick.

Hey Rob,
Watch out. The setting for most Canadian and US models are far more lean that the ones for the European market, due to regulations differences. Europe K7 standard is middle position.
Good luck, Rob
