1981 cb650 CV carb choke spring

Hi all! I re-racked my carbs and need a count on the number of turns in the spring which holds tension between the choke plate's shafts and the choke cable turny go-roundy and open choke thing.

Re: Need expirienced advice

actually, I need your advice. I tried the foamy engine brite stuff to knock down the oily mess on my head. It didn't quite do it for me. Everything else I soak in mineral spirits and use paper towels on. But the head is too big. I've been thinking of more foamy foam and a pressure washer to blast th...

VB44A Carb passageways

This bike was outside a long time and I think a couple of the really small passageways may be plugged. I tried to blast through the crud with air and carb cleaner, even used a small copper wire. I'm not sure now whether its for use in a different casting or the jet is really small. There is only one...
