I've been cleaning up some 500 Interceptor carbs I recently bought on e-bay. When I opened them up I was surprised by the jetting. These are early 84 carbs and...
Jerry, I agree on the front main jets being #102 and rear ones being #105 ('84 carbs), with #38 slow jets for all fours. But either I can't see why the...
I have the Honda Factory Shop manual and the maual specifies the same configuration I found in those used carbs. It's just weird to stagger the thin and thick...
I have the Factory Shop manual too, and I had a look in it but coud not find anything precise about the jet needles. Where did you find these data in the...
Noël, I don't have the manual handy here at work, but there was a small table about 4 pages into the section on Carburetors that indicated where the jets and...
Noël, The jetting in the carbs I bought is consistent with some of the specs listed in parts of the Service Manual; it just doesn't seem to make sense to me. ...
From my Factory Shop Manual , the main jets would be 95 front, 92 rear (page 4-1), and supposedly 62 - sixty-two ! - for Switzerland (@ 6,000 feet ?). ...
Thanks Noël, Does your service manual have any data on the needles used? In 84 only the US models used two different needles. In my manual Honda states one...
Jerry, As you may already have seen on my pics, my manual (dated 1985) does not state anything about the needles, from what I conclude that from 85-on all of...
The links lead to the VF500F group's site, but it's true, some won't work (don't know why). You should try by looking in the "Files" on the site. Have a good...

No offense Noel, but the Dynojunk kits are just awful. I've never had one dial-in properly so I'll never use one again. The only kit I use now are the...
