[QUOTE="canuckxxxx, post: 103091, member: 2409"] Well I decided to mount the carb with the cables at the front and the fuel inlet at the front left side. To do that I completely removed the tin heat shield which really opens up the engine compartment and mades access way better. Honda probably had a good reason for it but I cannot see it. I had planned on putting short 1 1/4" pieces of grab bar at the plenum end to bridge the gap between fuel hose and inside of the spigot, and to reenforce the fuel hose for the hose clamps, but the grab rail are at a machinist friend so didn't for this first test. So the fuel hose just butts up to the end of the plenum spigot and held in place by the rubber sleeve with hose clamps. No reenforcement at either end of fuel hose for hose clamps. A few squirts of fuel and the bike started right up. I hadn't heard it run for over a month so it was good to hear it. Had to use the throttle to keep it running until it was warmed up a bit then it would idle pretty good. The next day I took it for a short test ride around the block. It has a big bog at just off idle but when it catches it really takes off. I had an opportunity to open up the secondaries on a straight stretch and it really takes off hard. [GALLERY=media, 21700][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 21699][/GALLERY] I want to add the pieces of grab bar to the ends of the fuel hose and try it again before I take it all apart and do the complete grab install. Will keep you posted. Brian [/QUOTE]
