This is the overflow system from a 1979 CBX. It needs to be removed and never put back on the carburetors. It is the cause of the infamous hydrolock scenario.

This is my new top end rebuild book. Nearly 130 pages and more than 450 pictures. A ton of information, not only about disassembly and reassembly, but also tools, parts, techniques, and more. Go here or click on the book.

A few of the above links have become "broken". Bear with me while I make repairs to this page. Go here for a list of almost 200 CBX observations by a career Honda mechanic.
