Hey guys, first time posting here so bare with me,
I bought a 1980 Honda CB650C*. Have been working on it in the winter and looking at it as a cafe racer project. When I purchased it, it wasn't running, but I was getting ignition. Looked to be that the carbs just needed some cleaning, and plan was to remove, clean, & buy a carb rebuild kit. The problem is that I cannot find a carb rebuild kit for my model (which differs from the 1980 Honda CB650). More inspection shows that I have a damaged fuel jet and float pin in two of the carbs.
Having trouble find the exact model parts, and a proper rebuild kit, I was wondering how hard would it be to just get a whole new set of carbs?(obviously going to be a significant more in price) Or if I was to get a set of carbs from another bike, ie. Honda 750 or so, would that work as well if I was to throw that on my bike?
Thanks
