Re: CARB
Hi Jason;
What type of Carb are you using now? Why are you trying to change? The
real issue is what will attach to the intake manifold and allow you to use
the choke and throttle cables. Also, if it is to lean you will burn your
valves, to rich and you will carbon up the works, foul your plugs and run
like %#+@%&. Talk to Mike O' Conner I think he has rebuild kits.

Re: CARB
I used to mess around with substitute carbs back in my early days. I
worked in a motorcycle shop, so I had access to all kinds of carbs. I
made an intake manifold so I could run a pair of Honda CB360 carbs. I
found later it ran better on just 1 of the 360 carbs but wouldn't
reach top speed.
The best fit was a carb from a Honda CB450 twin ('69-'74 vintage).
They look identical except don't have the accel pump and just about
bolt right on.
The one I would try would be a carb from a Honda GL1000 Goldwing. The
GL has 4 carbs which resemble the Honda 600. Also if you view the
carb kit from the GoldWing you will notice it looks just like the
N/Z600 except for the bowl gasket. The GL carb should be just as hard
to find as a good N600 carb as they came out in '75 or '76.
Bill's right though, if you can rebuild your carb, you're better off.
If you find a nice Keihin replacement, let us know.

PS, try www.jcwhitney.com to find the carb kits for GL1000. If you
need your stock carb re-did, ship it a me.

My mechanic said the lean air mixture screw is not having an affect
on the operation of the carb. Bare with me here, I'm not sure on
some of the descriptions he gave me. Apparently there is some sort
of function where the carb will pool within it a bit of gas, and
then as you begin accelerating it will release the gas in a rush?
This bit of high technology is located at the rear underside of the
carb. He says it's not releasing the gas. It is also leaking gas
from this area. The car starts runs for a bit then coughs a final
breath before lights out. During this short bit of idle you cannot
depress the accelerater without it turning off.
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Jason
If you open the attached picture, is the arrow pointing at the area that is
leaking?
