We’ve previously shown you how to rebuild the forks on a 1973 Honda CB500. This time we’ll show you a carburetor rebuild. While our step-by-step should make the process pretty clear, we highly suggest a good Chilton or Haynes shop manual to help sort out the many details in removing and installing the carbs. A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words.

Detach the throttle and choke cables, loosen the clamps on the insulators between the carbs/engine and the air cleaner bellows. Remove the carburetor assembly from the engine. A manual helps here.
