The Honda parts diagram is slightly different from the parts diagram in the Clymer manual. My carb actually looks more like the Type III in the Clymer which is listed for the CT70 1969-1977. I've ordered the gasket set, needle set, screw set and valve set, all Honda OEM. That replaces all the gaskets, o-rings, brass parts, petcock packing and integral fuel filter.
This is the Honda parts breakdown. Part 3 is different in the Honda diagram than the Clymer manual.
This is the Clymer illustration. Part 3 is a washer instead of a brass fitting. I think this is what my bike came with. See the question below.
Since all the parts that meter fuel are brass, I bead blasted the carb body because I wasn't having any luck removing the gunk with carb cleaner. It came out pretty well. I didn't get too close to the part and turned down the air pressure a little so it's not pristine, but way better than it was.
A question, What is the purpose of this small hole under the carb to manifold o-ring? It doesn't seem to go anywhere because when I blow air into it, the air just comes right back out the hole.
Does anyone know where this small wavy washer might go? It didn't come out with a brass screw/jet and just appeared on the workbench so I'm not exactly sure where it might go. From the parts breakdown, it may be the seat for the main jet holder (3 in the Clymer manual). I'm pretty sure its not from the main or idle jet adjustment screws, the float bowl drain screw or the petcock switch and integrated fuel filter.
