I’m in the middle of putting my 1980 carbs back together after cleaning, repair and rebuilding. I unfortunately had a 4 mounts delay in re-installing them. I’ve done my 1979 and my 1981 cbx carbs and now I can’t remember if the 1980 uses the rubber jet tower plugs or not?! Mike Nixon’s book doesn’t specifically say between models and I just don’t remember.....lol
Thanks in advance

Re: Quick carb question
The rubber plugs are only on the 79 carbs

Re: Quick carb question
Only VB60 and VB61 use the plugs. Just make sure the carbs on your bike are not either of those.
