How to Assemble the CB175 / CL175 / SL175 / CB200 / CL200 Keihin Carburetors - Part 2

[@kimber1911]

You quite literally saved my sanity! I inadvertently swapped the carb slides and had them reversed. I replaced coils, points, plugs, wires, boots, condenser and battery trying to figure out why my bike was running overly rich. I watched this video on the off hand I might learn something new and viola, I swapped the carb slides when replacing the throttle cable. Thank you!!

LoL I just did the same with the slide. Bought a new set of carbs from Ebay didn't think about it and made the same mistake but also one was missing the guide for the needle.

@@scottlofton2607 I recalled someone saying these bikes are so simple that usually it's something like that which would cause so many problems.

[@scottlofton2607]

Going to fire it up today and see what happens, hopefully the rain will hold off and get out for a ride. It's been sitting scene 1986 begging for attention LoL.

Great video, wish I had seen these before I did my rebuild. You always highlight information that is not common knowledge, great job!

Excellent video!! Thanks!

Just a few months too late, I sold my CL 175. I always had trouble with those carbs. My 350 was never a problem but these ones are finicky.

[@micahshaughnessy3165]

Also having trouble finding replacement manifolds for cb200. I read somewhere you can use the 175s on the 200, anybody know if that’s true? It was mentioned additional gaskets would be needed. Or if there are any suggestions where I might find them for the 200 I would appreciate it! I’ve messaged several sellers on eBay with no luck.

[@kennethchen5180]

i need replacement intake manifolds (carb boots) for my CB200 but i can’t find them online, will you guys eventually provide them on your website? or does anyone know of any other models of carb boots i could use as substitute? thanks

[@micahshaughnessy3165]

I was having the same issue and ended up looking at the part name/number in the manual which is carb insulator and had better luck with that search term on ebay. I also talked to common motor via email and they let me know that you can use the intakes from a cb/cl175 but that style is slightly shorter and need to be used with the plastic spacers between the manifolds and cylinder heads. Thought I would pass it along!

Please find a replacement LED headlight for the smaller CL175/SL175/SL350 that’s 5 1/4”!

[@richieortiz5]

I’d be forever grateful.

[@scottlofton2607]

Yes I have a 68 sloper 175 two 72 CL and CB 350 with high beam only. Not paying 75 to 100 bucks for a headlight when you can find them
