Hello,
I have a 1981 Honda cb750c - and my mechanic is saying I need to rebuild the carbs.
The bike has been converted to a bobber and the filters have been replaced with Air Pods.
The bike is running really rich at times, then lean - then misfires then cuts off...  He said that I need to order Larger Main Jets (120-150) and Thinner Float Needles...

I've read when these bikes are converted to bobbers and Air Pods are put on the bikes and the exhaust is chopped - it doesn't create a well enough vacuum in the bike and requires larger jets.

Does anyone know where I can purchase thinner Float Needles?

Also, can anyone confirm that the Main Jets are Keihin Carbs Round Jets?

Thanks for ANY advice...

Best Regards,
Brett
