CB77 Carburation

Post by SMBH » Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:42 am

I have put in a few hundred miles on my 1964 CB77 after some problems.

I do have a performance problem in top gear at 4,000 RPM = 50MPH and 5,000 RPM = 60 MPH on a flat road if I open up the throttle to full the engine will not rev it seems to be a lack of fuel closing the chock makes no difrence and opening the petrol tank cap to see if I have a vacume in the tank so im looking at upping the main jet to 140 from 135 I have two new 135 mains so can I open up them to 140 I understand GMan says I need a 1.4mm drill please can you confirm GMan.

Im running STD gearing 15T/30T at the moment so I have a 14T engine sprocket on order so I will give that a try to see if it will rev more in top gear.

Ho and GMan it's still dripping oil on the right side not a lot so after some 2 years and 2 strip downs and many many oil seal changes im going to live with it, the old girls just a little incontinent with age at least it's on parr with my 1964 Triumph now.

Mike

Yes, Keihin jets are identified by the diameter in mm. A #100 jet is 1mm diameter.

Shame about the leak but I have an idea for you.....

PM me.

WOW!

That looks fantastic, I'm amazed at the quality of work in making these old bikes look better than new, some of you guys on this forum do fabulous work.
