Motorcycle Repair: Repair for a 1972 Honda CB350, 1972 honda cb350, ebay


Question
montomelon@yahoo.com

I just bought a 1972 Honda CB350 with 4700 miles on it for $500.  The only real problem with it is that it sat for about a year with gas in the tank and so the gas lines and carbs were gummed up.  I took the carbs off, cleaned them and before I put them back on, I'm wondering if there are any specific settings I need to have for anything,(i.e. the idle and air flow).  I was also wondering if there is a place online that I can go to download a repair manual for my bike.  I tried ebay, but ended up with a manual for the four carb model.

Hi Garrett,

Check for manuals here:

Idle is adjusted after engine is running. Air-fuel screws can be set at two turns out from lightly seated for a base setting.
