Sorry i never finish typing the Qs about a 1982 for a Honda Accord/ 3 BBL Keihin Carburator , i found one of the plastic floats cracked, replace that, replace needles and the Brass body of the needles too, installed it starts great, runs great....butt its stil flodding the barrels with fuel, could it be one of the two solenoids, there is the fuel cut off or idle one, they both are opening and closing with the turning of the ignition key

The two solenoids should open when the car is running, and stay closed when the car is off. They are there to prevent flooding while the car is not in use. barrel flooding while the car is running could be that the float valve seats need adjusting.

Hi, any idea of where one could find a GRIMECA 17 3.75 rear wheel for a moped MBK 51 Magnum of '88? Preferably yellow, but any color would do.

I think you’re best bet will be eBay. I’ve found all my wheels there.

Two happy carbs!

Clean parts, ready to assemble.

Here’s a reference pic for which jets go where.

The reason for the original carburetor’s retirement: a broken pin arm. I’ve cemented it back on with gasoline resistant epoxy. I hope it works...

The brass screw on the front of the carb body is the aux. air/fuel mixture screw. It adjusts the mixture of the third barrel that feeds the cvcc pre-fire chamber. The aluminum “screw” above it is not a screw, its another plug. It adjusts nothing.

The primary fuel/air mixture screw can be found on the back of the carburetor throttle body. The small brass screw in the middle. The object in this picture that looks like a screw (between the “4″ and “3″ is actually a plug from the manufacturing process. It adjusts nothing.

Rebuilding my car’s original carburetor.

Dressed the Ural up as a space shuttle for Halloween.

One last visual detail, (stem cap) and the project is done. Behold: The Wasp!

[rebelridermikegray]

Electrical is done. I even added a small 12v battery. Also, I tapered the end of my new pipe so the end cap would fit.

Modifying the old Cat-Eye turn signal kit to fit the new setup.

Custom brackets, rubberized paint to cover the scratched chrome, 12V LED bulbs, and ground wires.

Tapping holes for CHT gauge installation.

[rebelridermikegray]

Chains, fuel stuff, some wiring, and the exhaust whet on today.

Modified a new seat to fit the old Free Spirit.
