Starting the 76 KH 500 first time, now that I have time.

[wheeliehappy]

just putting the carbs back together after cleaning and getting ready to start it, but first I need to know a few things

The 1976 KH500 was also known as H1? ABCDE or was it?

What is the float Height supposed to be Im finding 30mm +-1 mm, is that correct ?

Air screw is ? I see its either 1/2 turn or 1.25 to 1.75 turns, this is not for fine tuning just initial start up what works best, fine tuning comes later, at this point I just want to start it or see if it starts.

Let me know.

after I check for spark and stuff I'll make a vid of the first start.

Below is a link to the resource site page with a summary of the 76 models.
It looks like all models used a KH identity that year.

Below is a link to the carb specs sheet from the resource site.
It looks like the float height is 23.0 - 25.0 mm.

The carb sheet does not spec the air screw but I think 1.5 turns out would be a place to start.

Your welcome Karl. Good luck with your project.
Where is Brad on the list ? ( just joking) I am hoping to meet some by of those guys in the future. We left Ottawa in September and moved to Wateroo. Apparently I am known on my street as the new guy with the cool bikes.

The new guy with cool bikes not a bad thing to be known for, I moved to a new neighborhood 3 years ago and I had the similar known as and everybody would stop by the garage when walking the dogs and say hello. I hope to meet you and see all those guys again this summer
