    CB450 Top Speed? and running out of gas...

    *Went out riding today with my brother. We probably did 80-100 miles, just bumming around town and having fun. We wanted to test my top speed, and I couldn't get past 90, and that was on a downhill. I also seem to have a bit of "dead" space at the top of my throttle, in pretty much any gear, but...

    Carb leak

    Hey all, I've been having a carb leak on just one side from the center overflow valve. I've rebuilt it but it still leaks a ton any time there's gas in the line. Any ideas on what could fix it ?

    CB175 K6 fuel petcock part

    Hey all! I'm buying a new petcock (messed up the bowl threads on the old one, amateur mistake), and when I was looking at parts diagrams, I noticed a part I don't have on my bike. It's part #3 in the diagram. Just want to make sure my bike isn't missing a part. Is this not a real piece...

    72 CB175, swamp in carb!

    Hey all, bike n00b here. I have a 72 CB175 that I'm finally getting around to fixing. A brief history, the bike has ~3k miles. I bought it from the PO in 2019, who said it was in storage since the 80's. It started and ran when I bought it, and my dad rode it October 2020. Now I can't get it to...
  6. Electrical or Fuel, I don't know what is up.

    Re: CB 175 k6 1972 Here is a problem that has got me stumped. I have been riding, albeit not too often, this little Honda. I put it together from boxed parts and the help of a student. I rebuilt the carbs which are supposed to be good copies of the originals. Adjustments are on the same side so...
  7. I'm having some trouble with my CM400A (think it's carb related)

    Howdy, new poster here. Bought the bike about a month ago (my first bike) and up until today it's been running like a dream. Today I ran into a weird problem. Once I hit about 20mph, the bike has trouble accelerating any faster. I can sort of coax it if I take it really slow, otherwise the...
  8. Rebuilt carbs - replaced petcock - now petcock issue?

    Working on a '73 CB350 Rebuilt the carbs - drained, cleaned and flushed tank with "Metal Rescue" - installed new petcock valve. Bike started and idled for about a minute or so at about 1500 rpm. Was running on both cylinders - hot exhaust from both pipes. Carbs responded to increases in...
