New Brass

Post by Gun » Fri Jan 16, 2009 12:58 pm

Looking for new brass in my square bowl carbs on my 65 cb77.
Would you recommend getting an aftermarket carb kit or should I seek someone out who might sell some original parts individually?
I think I remember Ed recommending 135 mainjet and 35 (or was it 40?) slow.
And I have written down on a legal pad here that I need K24231 needle.
Is this info all correct?

Gun 42 on the pilot, the reat are correct. Avoid all of the brass from AM kits, and try to find Honda stuff. I just ordered pilots from my local Honda dealer, and I'll let you know if I actuall get them. The AM kits are good for the needle and seat, and gaskets only.

No offense meant!
I disagree with this davemoto.
I use the KEYSTER CB77 carb kits in both the CB and CL77 carbs and find they are super.
Have ya ordered a needle from HONDA and got it?. ............lm

Most data will show that is the number but add to that I can show several other REAL HONDA ISSUE NEEDLES with different numbers which I've removed from CB77 carbs. HONDA used more than that one needle over the years. ...............lm

Carb Kits

I have to concur with loud Mouse on the keysters. I've used them in rebuilding CBXes and my CL77s with great success. JMHO
