The Honda Owners Club

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, also new to owning a Honda, which is a 1979 CB750FZ in a 1979 CB750F/CB900F Chassis SC01, with what appears to be a KZ engine RC1OE. My question is regarding the the carbs. I have managed to pick up a set of carbs on ebay which are marked as VB52B's, this model of carb has the accelerator pump. Is it possible to fit these carbs to the KZ, the dimensions appear to be the same, and the jet's appear to be the same.

thanks in advance.

Hi i have a 1983 CB750F but have found out that the engine is from a 1979KZ.The carbs fitted are VB52B's.I have had this bike running for about 9 months now and the engine runs very well with no problems.Dont know if this helps.Good luck.Stuart1066

Hi I have a running KZ and the carbs fitted are also VB52B's even though according to the workshop manual they are VB42B's

Runs fine

Cheers Witch

Hi,

Cheers, most helpfull.

I actually have two spare sets that I picked up from ebay... 30 quid. The 52's are grotty but after a cleanup should be ok. Also have a set of 42B's, which are like new externally, but internaly were gummed up with what smells like burnt oil and jellified petrol. after a good clean they are now splnky, so i think i shall be going with these.

Regards
