SOHC Singles & Twins / carb measuring
« on: June 13, 2024, 05:23:59 PM »
HiAll
I'm rebuilding a 1971 cb125 twin and it should have 18 carbs (not literally) I have got my 20 carbs mixed up with them.
I believe the 18 and 20 is the choke size in MM .
where should I be measuring? is it the width through the inlet?
Cheers Rich

Thanks for all of your input.

Re the frame powder coating I have found the company I use I ask for 80% black it looks like the original and not over glossy.

All the bulbs are as they were before the flasher unit started blowing the fuse. Obviously tracked the relay down as the culprit. and bought
a new relay (well 2 actually both different makes) .I have tried reversing the black and grey and same result with both relays.
God I hate electrics

Don't want to rejoice just yet but it looks like the whole mess is down to a faulty Indicator relay.
I have ordered a new one and will report back.
Looks like Ted may get first prize.
Watch this space
Cheers all for your thoughts.

Thanks Brian just done this this morning.
Disconnect block, check black live into headlight for continuity and all is fine , plug block in and it shorts.
I then check black in sub loom and ok, check black on regulator ok. Something is happening when it is plugged in .????¿
