Rob's Carburetor Rebuilds

CX500 V-Twin '78-'79 KeiHin 35mm VB26's

All of the CX500 V-Twin carbs made from '78-'82 look similar, and they can be interchanged on all years. However, they are diverse in both design, settings, and tuning. You have to pay close attention to the specific version to correctly rebuild and the bike they are currently installed. They are found to be interchanged and very mixed-up so just replicating current parts installed, is a recipe for disaster. This particular version is for the '78-'79 CX500 (VB26AA). This set has the fuel intake on the side of the #2 carb and has adjustable floats with matching float needles. They do not use a accellerator pump.
