Just the tubes that should be connected to the carbs are missing . But there's a german 50HP engine and carbs mounted actually on my bike, so no one is going to miss that stuff. Funnily the FO built in that Air control pipe (https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb650sc-nighthawk-1985-f-usa_model7228/partslist/E++03.html#results) pos.22, when changing the engine.( pic2) . You've got to have a close look to the carbs to see the difference between standard and CA. It's just the small pipes , located beside the starter valves.( pic 3). I guess, if you just close those pipes, it's working like the standard carbs, only the throttle valves are different as the parts list says. The floatbowls of the CA type are superseeded by the standard ones... Am Dienstag, 20. März 2018 15:56:38 UTC+1 schrieb Kyle Munz: > > That looks just like the regular carbs.
