Here's a question... My neighbour has a Honda CB77 that he has been working on for ages . Just so we can be sure he'll have no problems I'm wondering if the fact that he has what I think is quite wide bore fuel hoses to his carbs going to be an issue. It is petrol grade clear flexible stuff but would it cause an issue as I reckon the flow would be different to OEM hoses. The carb floats seem to work but am I barking up the wrong tree?

Doesn't matter what the ID of the line is as long as it's secure, flow is determined by the id of the tank outlet and carb nipples. I like clear line as you can see that you have fuel but make sure it's genuine Tygon or Motion Pro stuff. There's a lot of cheap, vinyl shit around that goes bad fast.

Cool, that's one potential variable that doesn't exist. The carbs have been cleaned and rebuilt professionally but it starts on the button and runs great on choke but dies once the choke is off.
