carb re-jetting
I have a 1982 Honda cm450c that I recently put a new exhaust on. I know I need to re-jet, and I even know the jet sizes as far as 72, 115, and 38 go. What I didn't know is that there are multiple lengths and widths also. Does anyone know these sizes or where I could find them? Thank you.

Re: carb re-jetting
Hello Phil, and welcome to the forum. Do you have a service manual for your previously unseen by me 82 CM450C? 
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Re: carb re-jetting
What you'll need to do is pull the carbs. Even within the brands, there are plenty of differences between jet types.

Re: carb re-jetting
I do have the manual. I forgot all about that. And I thought about just pulling and looking. I was just gonna see if I could find out beforehand to save some time. Oh well. Thank you.
