Acv clamp

[GL15Brewer]

Curious, before I put this carb bank back together, if anyone has ever felt it necessary to put some kind of clamp on the hose from the acv? It seems loose at the acv itself.
Thanks

You should replace the ACV hoses, and the new hose is tight. You buy it in bulk. If you only need enough for the ACVs, you can buy ithe precut hoses and new screws as a kit on my website.

Darn, i just ordered a bunch between you and redeye. LolWhat size tubing should I purchase? I'll see if I can snag it local since I have everything else to get the bike finished this weekend?

Also wondering if anyone puts any sort of anti-seize or an assembly lube on the rods holding the carbs together. Those were not fun to get out.

95005-35008-10M is the Honda part number. The -10M is 10 meters length. You can find it in shorter lengths using the number minus the -10M.
The OEM tubing is nitrile I think.

On the connecting rods galvanic corrosion can make them difficult to get apart. The bodies are an alloy, the inserts are steel and the rods are chromed. That causes an EMF which corrodes the metal. So I polish the rods and grease them on assembly. Neversieze would work great, but it seems to get everywhere. I only use it to lubricate the idle adjust knob threads and contact point.

If you have other questions or concerns, I will do what I can to help.
