See if this works. It's in pretty good shape, just needs a little here and there. As far as I know, the CP's were built in three main versions, and somewhere I have a document that actually shows some of the odd variations within each of those, right down to red blue or white lights on the full poli...

Yes, they're the power jet carbsm but with the square bowl. I'm using a 35 and 100 interior jets, and the 160 90's as you list. I do have some aluminum needles, but they're pretty beat up. I thought I'd try the CL72 needle and seat as that's all I can get and go from there. I can rob them out of my ...

CP77's are very odd. Mine is cp77-1900818, which shows up in some list as being one of the CYP types with all the police parts. Most of my Japanese hondas have the numbers like C72-64-XXXX with the year in the middle. Wierd how they changed it up like that! I just bought a CS72 in Japan, can't wait ...

I looked and couldn't find a number. I think they've been replaced. In looking through my other needles for CL72, I did notice some wider and some narrower. Also, some are lighter and an aluminum color. I checked the parts book and it shows just a 16151-268-004. I do have the 35 slow, 100 main, and ...

Thanks, yes, I've tried moving the needle, haven't tried hotter plugs. The timing is right on. All of the other jets are new, so I'm thinking the needlejust isn't matched right to the seat.

Really struggling with my 1964 CB72

I restored the bike in 2003 and it ran very nice until you hit higher rpm's and then it would shoot black smoke (seemed rich). (This is the square bowl type with the extra jets). I've pulled it apart and have been able to replace all of the jets except I don't have new needle jets. Does anyone have ...

I am a real fan of the blue bikes, I have a blue C72, a blue cb72, and a will have a blue CL72. (and a blue S90, which was only sold in Canada). My understanding is that about 1 out of 10 bikes was blue and they didn't sell very well. Most of the blue bikes had either light blue seats on them, or re...
