AboutBill Silver Expertise Need help with vintage Hondas from the 1960s? I am an expert with 250-305cc bikes in particular and most all of the other pre-91 models, in general. I do NOT claim to have a great deal of experience on Gold Wings, Cruisers, ATC/ATVs and dirt bikes.
Experience I have owned/ridden/maintained Honda motorcycles for 35 years. I have written five books on Honda repairs and collecting. I was a service manager for two Honda shops back in the 1980s.

Question Hello, I own a 1972 CL450 k5 scrambler. My local Honda dealer had the carb rebuild kits for this bike but they didn't include the float valve sets (needle and seat), and mine are worn/damaged and leaking. Do you know of a good online store where I could buy the valves and maybe even the floats?
Answer 16011-375-004, VALVE SET,FLOAT
16013-283-004, Float Set
Just punch in the part numbers in to a browser search window and all the sources will come up for you. Try to stay with OEM Honda parts, but KEYSTER float valves and floats are probably okay, if necessary.
