Motorcycle Carburetor Parts for Honda CB900F

The Honda CB900F is a classic motorcycle with a sleek design and a robust four-stroke engine to drive it down the highway. A mechanical carburetor delivers that engine its lifeblood by using the fundamental laws of physics to push fuel through the CB900F at a tremendous rate of speed. As with all mechanical parts, however, wear and tear break down carburetor components over time leading to the need for repair and replacement of your motorcycle carburetor parts.

How is the Honda CB900F carburetor constructed?

The carburetor in your CB900F Honda motorcycle is constructed with four main components:

  • The float chamber is a fuel reservoir tank. Fuel flows into the float chamber from the tank through a valve located on the top of the device. The valve opens and closes by a floating ball attached to a pivot arm. When the fuel in the chamber drains, the pivot arm triggers the valve to open and dump in more fuel.
  • The Venturi is a short, straight piece of pipe narrowed in the center that accelerates the airflow coming in through the intake of your Honda CB900F. The acceleration lowers air pressure, creating a vacuum that pulls fuel out of the chamber and into the motor.
  • The fuel jet on your bike is an opening connecting the float chamber to the Venturi pipe. It regulates how much fuel passes into the engine of your Honda. It ejects fuel through a well where it vaporizes before moving into the motor.
  • The purpose of the throttle valve is to control how much air coming through the air intake can travel into the motor. The Venturi pipe creates a vacuum, which regulates how much fuel the Honda CB900F will burn. The valve, which adjusts to control idle speed, is connected to the accelerator.
What is the difference between OEM and aftermarket carburetors?

Honda designs and makes OEM carburetors for your bike and other similar models such as the CB900 and CB750. On the other hand, third-party companies manufacture aftermarket brands, which can fit similarly-designed motorcycles regardless of make, model, or year. You should shop and compare all the choices to figure out which carburetor is most suited to your needs.

How do you replace the carburetor in your Honda?
  • First, make sure to remove the battery to avoid any potential fire hazards. Next, remove the air intake, choke linkage, throttle, and fuel line from your Honda.
  • Next, loosen up the nuts and bolts holding the carburetor in place and carefully remove it from its housing. Drain any fuel that might be inside and remove the gasket from the intake manifold.
  • Clean off the gasket with a rag and replace it, then install the new carburetor in your Honda, reconnecting everything in reverse order.
