    Brass plugs on carbs leaking...

    The other day I had the air box off to try and get the carbs down in the boots better. One boot is always wet. After a bit I got it a little better but the carbs still don't want to sit down well. If I get 3 in well and try to get the 4th, the opposite corner pops out. After messing with it I...

    How do I attatch the air box to the top of the carbs??

    I just bought my first motorcycle (that runs and drives). I accidentally left the key on yesterday while hanging out with my daughter and the battery went dead. I am also waiting on a screw for the clutch lever perch, as that snapped off right above the threads. So the bike is in the garage...

    HELP!!! Stock '04 carbs

    I have a stock 2004, it does have the v-boost switch to kick in at 4 grand. The bike runs rather rich, can smell it when you stop. Milage is near 30 to the gallon.

    Honda Rebel Carbs

    Guys, sorry, couldn't tell if this was an appropriate place to locate this thread. Either way, I have an 86 Honda Rebel 250 that was running fine last summer... it was real cold blooded but would eventually get over it and warm up and run well. I let it sit too long and it had a hard time...

    Yup...free, you pay the shipping. I bought these about 3 months ago and got screwed. The bike had been submerged under water. The insides are rotton and rusted. I salvaged the floats and all 4 rubber diaphrams. All the linkage is intact. These carbs are non rebuildable. So if you need some...
