Hi, yes the vacuum nipple is on the intake manifold berfore the reeds. I just managed to do a compression AND a vacuum test. I have a Mityvac pump that does both and has a dial. The engine is air tight, no problems. So now the only culprit I can see is the carb. I double checked and opened it again....

The gaskets should be : 91201GK8003
Superseeded by 91201KBN922

Anyone confirm?

Still working on the bike. There was a little hole in the vacuum pipe. Cut that bit off. Still no progress. Had a look at the petcock filter. Super dirty. About 20% clogged with dirt, no rust. Took a picture of the inside of the tank (I have an endoscopic camera) : clean, no rust issues. Cleaned the...

I'll check that needle. Never touched it or took it apart. A friend of mine told me to check the petcock : maybe gas coming through but not enough? Also told me to check the 2 crank rubber gaskets. When I took the variator off the other day, the gasket was at its place and everything clean. Told me ...

Ok, so fun was short lived. The bike works ok on the stand, it will idle for 20 mins without a problem. It revs ok. Riding it brings issues. It still dies when driving. When you ride the bike, it'll pull strong from a start lifting up the front wheel! Full speed is easily 55 km/h and if I get time :...

Thanks for the feedback noiseguy.

You can find a costly crank here : https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-nb50m-1985- ... 6_1HdczbIV
Or only the part you need (left hand side of the crank) and have a shop do the replacement job. It will still cost $$$

What are the advantages of carbon reeds over stainless ones as OEM?

Last year I very briefly had a Peugeot Ludix.../..I sold the Ludix as soon as possible due to the terrible build quality, the engine was solid enough but everything else was shoddy right down to the bathroom style halogen spotlights that were fitted (as standard) in place of headlights. When I was ...

Oh, should there be an o-ring on the idle screw? I don't have any, and it works ok, just wondering.
On the carbs of my 4 cylinder Suzuki 1100 (Bandit-GSF), I do have 'orings on the idle screws + a spacer to protect it from the spring.

Hi, feedback time! :woot: So I took the carb apart AGAIN (sigh). I checked every port/hole/circuit ( how do you call the "pipes" molded in the carb that the gas flows in??? ). Everything looked clear. I could see the holes in the idle jet tube by taking off the idle screw. They're big enou...

Ok, I'll do it again. The carb must be an italian FIAT one...Fix It Again Tony!

PITA though...I'll do that tomorrow, it's 9PM here.

Thank you very much for all the advice. I'll keep in touch.

Hi everyone and thanks for your feedback. I didn't get notifications to tell me people answered here... FYI : When I lost the carb part I was taking the carb from the garage to another place in the garden where I have water to clean it after using cleaning products with the ultrasonic machine. Lesso...
