Another 1984 VF500F project

Were your other carbs also vented to the plenum (long, oval, gold colored plate in the center of your second pic) and not atmosphere? That's basically what I'm verifying, but I would also like to know their numbers.

 

You mean the gold colored throttle plates ? If so no, those carbs were replaced with throttle bodies with the silver plates. All are silver plate.

 

No. In your second pic (post 116) looking down on the carbs in the center, 1 screw in it...

"(long, oval, gold colored plate in the center of your second pic)"

 

Oh that plate. The original carbs were just like that. They had the plate. Only one carb was replaced and its the same.

 

On another note. I'm about to install the coils but the spark plug caps are pretty bad. Wires too. Anyone know of where to source replacement caps or wires ?

 

I buy NGK caps and bulk NGK wire. But the wires are VERY resilient on Hondas. You can trim back about 1/8" and install new caps. The caps are available straight, bent and 90 degree.

Usually eBay or Amazon for me after figuring what I want and a thorough search for a good deal.
