Hello all I recently started trying to rescue a 1973 cb175 and would like to know where to measure from when checking float height. I know the float should be...
Yep, in the manuals I've read that's the way it's done, turn the carb upside down at about a 45 degree angle and measure from the flange to the bottom of the...
Thanks Johnny. I didn't know about the 45 deg. part. This bike had been in a barn for about 10 years. A friend who is not really a motorcycle guy was giving...
Hey, good luck, nice to see another one brought back to life. If you need any parts I have quite a few old 175 carbs lying around. JohnnyB ... Bart....
Johnny, I cleaned the carbs and the rt. one still floods. I guess I will have to buy at least one carb kit to get a new needle and seat. It may need a float...
Bart, Hate to tell you, but....the idle air screw on these little carbs is so sensitive that usually when they are bunged up you have to replace the carb...
Greetings to all I have brought home a 66'CB-160 My son found a Honda that he likes. we have dissected the engine. Freed it up. A late winter project for son. ...
Kenny, Stock bore size is 50mm x 41mm stroke. You'll need a parts manual and preferrably a Honda shop manual. Both can usually be found on ebay. Or these guys...
Is there any reason not to use cb 200 intake manifolds on a cb175k6? I bought a box of parts for a cb200 that included a pair of carbs and intakes. The...
Bart The cb200 intakes will not fit the cb160 or 175. They are to short even of they would fit. The bolt pattern in different on one side. The cb200 have the...
What he said. Don't get the idea that the 175 will make more power with the 200 carbs...it won't. The 200 was actually rated a few hp less than the 175....
Robin, Thanks for the info on the intakes. Do you have any cb175parts you would want to trade for the intakes? I have cb175k6 that was pretty much abused that...
Bart Thanks that would be cool. The left hand intake on my stock sano sl200 is torn and I cant ride it to the shop. Give me a list of what you need and I will...
John, Thanks. How are things with you? We start racing 3/31 I don't know if I will be racing in the first one. I am building a vintage race car for a guy...
Things are good here, got a basket case Duc 350 I'm hoping to get on the track by the end of the year. For once the 175's are sorted well enough that they...
Gentle Readers, I have been doing a little project of motor deconstruction in hopes of learning something of the workings of this engine. All has been going...
Bill, The clutch basket primary gears of course conflict with the primary gears when you try to slide it off. To remove the primary gears you have to remove...
Bill, Try David Silver Spares in the UK...they usually have some in stock. But bear in mind, that is an obsolete part of course...so what's out there is what's...
Bill, Reread my post. To be more clear...an 8mm bolt is threaded into the oil filter rotor cover and as you screw it in, it bottoms and starts to force the...
Thanks guys. Could not believe how hard a little 30 year old sludge could hold that cap. Once it came off the rest was a breeze. And it was actually pretty...
The MotoGiro is coming up fast for those of us who might have an unpainted bike in a million pieces in the basement... I do hope to join, but have not entered...
Bart, Sorry to space on you. Life can get complicated. I don't have any good stuff for you bike. Most of mine is just junk at this point. If you are on pay...
I am in need of CB 175 (vertical) top fork covers (headlight ears), and thought you racers might have some extras lying about.....Color or faded paint, or even...
I've got ears from a CL175 sloper model laying around...not sure if they will work on the vert. They will physically fit I'm pretty sure but I don't know how...
Vintage brake is good if you want to race your bike. Because he will install race linings riveted to your shoe cores...but you are looking at a month wait at...
... make them work. The ones I got on the forks were seriously crushed and bent, and I need something to hide the rusty area of the tubes between the...
