Honda express replacement carburetor

Retrofitting an aftermarket carburetor using the factory throttle cable

[@gregslair4278]

You might wanna show exactly what your doing and how it fits afterwards (or the whole process of shortening the piece). And also point out that using an aftermarket carb won't allow you to use the factory airbox. Might not be an issue for some, but if your going for the original look, that might be an issue. The new carbs work great and don't leak like the originals do, but I like to keep mine factory looking. The originals have no adjustment for the float bowl (at least on the 78 & 79), which can cause it to puke fuel from time to time. And finding original parts can be hard for these things. Trust me, I'm no KZbin expert, so watch Mustie1 and Dale Sweger for some insight. Mustie has been at this for quite some time and love his content and presentation. Dale is kinda new, but does an outstanding and very thorough job with the projects he works on.

You’re are right about that, I’ll most likely revisit the topic and let everyone know about that thanks for the heads up and thanks for watching.

Nice!

Thanks jack, I think I might have to get a longer cable. I think it stays wide open I think, the bike didn’t try to turn on with it.

What is that part called on the new cap,where did you get it?

The rubber boot? It came with the new carburetor

The metal part is a throttle cable adjuster, hope this helps.
