I’ve just acquired a Honda Magna VF750C, I want to purchase a rebuild kit for the carbs, but not sure which model the carbs are. They are Keihin carbs.

I’m unsure of the exact year of the bike, it says 1985 on the head tube badge, but has the 750 engine, looking through the history Honda stopped making the 750s in ‘84.
is anyone able to shed some light on how I can identify which kit to buy?
Thanks

All I can offer is to contact the company selling the kits.
Maybe they can help with being sure that you get the right one.

Unless you are pretty sure that there is something mechanically wrong inside the carb(s), then a shot of Berrymans B12 in the gas might save you a LOT of time and money.

Thankyou easy rider. I’ll contact the company. I don't believe there’s anything mechanically wrong with the carbs, but the bike sat for 18yrs before it was given to me. For good measure I’ll rebuild the carbs.

OK.....your decision. But it might not be "for good measure" in the end.
Every time you take something apart there always is a chance that it will end up worse than it started out.

So....does the bike run at all ?
If yes, and it does so reasonably well......I strongly recommend AGAINST doing things that you don't KNOW need to be done.
And I strongly recommend Berrymans B12 Chemtool.
It can clean out little passages that most people miss even during a rebuild.

Thankyou. Good advice. It hasn’t run in 18 yrs, but ran fine before it was stored.

You can identify what Model Keihin Carbs you have by the model number stamped on the Float Bowl Body.
