MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 OK....carb is off in the bucket of carb-o-cleaner....lucky I got this 5 gal bucket of carb cleaner two summers ago. I bought a old 72 Buick Electra with a 455 in it and the carb needed a rebuild.... That bucket cost me close to $100.... I was wondering if I was ever going to use it again.... Oldtimer...you right....you can buy almost anything for a old bug....but some of this Honda stuff is just gone....no more....you just can't get it.... I was able to find a carb kit and only one float....the kit didn't come with the O-ring under the carb to the base plate......but....but.... I looked in some of my stash and I found some carb stuff and the special O-ring....oh yea....it's all good.... Gonna let it soak over night and reassemble tomorrow.....not out of the woods yet....

CECAA850 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Worker Bee's, you are on the down hill slide. Yep, today is my Friday as I have tomorrow off. My vacation starts over at the end of the month and I had one more day to use up as I can't carry them over to the next year. I'm going to start setting faucets and shower trim in the bathroom. I'm almost done! My wife on the other hand has a ton to paint. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKP :-) Love them old boat tail Riviera's, i had a couple. Just changing out the gears wakes up the 455 to new levels, a little carb and timing work makes for a nice sleeper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ok so I did have coffee today (and the in the know folks hang here) so I'll ask this OT question here. We have an '07 Honda Odyssey Touring that I de-paxed and now need to find a spare; what years will fit? I found a new spare kit on line but with shipping it's over $200 and want to look around at the junk yards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The cable is really thick and 20' long and was $4.39, unbelievably cheap for a cable made this well, I don't know how they do it at these prices? It's called slave Chinese labor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Used my own labor to wash the sportwagen on a warm windy day. It's nice to be a backyard wildlife sanctuary but the robins came through eating every berry around then targeting the car parked under an oak. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
