Title: After market garbage
Post by: Pmcg on May 28, 2014, 04:45:50 PM

I just rebuilt a set of cb750 carbs and decided to save some money and go aftermarket on the rebuild kit. Got the carbs on the bike today and they leaked from the cheap float bowl gaskets. The older I get the less likely I am to use anything other than oem.

yup, some aftermarket stuff just plain sucks!
I bought one of these Outlaw oil caps for the 500 to dress it up a bit....d**n thing leaked right from the start!...I even tried two different size o-rings than the one that came with it...still leaked!
I bought the oem rubber cap...no more leak!
