It isn’t much, but it’s a start.
Carbs came today. Ordered these last week.

Although not important at this stage, the carb tops are fitted back to front.

The trans adjuster bolts came today.
It’s not much but it’s something.
Every single nut, bolt and part on this bike has been cleaned or resorted my me. Every washer and cotter pin. That’s a pretty cool feeling.
Norton parts are quality.

I’m sure a lot of you guys have boxes of spare carb parts.
I need parts 5 thru 11 x 2.
Basically the sleeve (I have one sleeve and one large spring) and the needle and all the little parts.
Let me know what you have. Used and reasonably priced is my mantra. It would be nice to have the carbs done.
I have a bag of soda coming very soon. I’ll sold blast the carbs and the engine cases but I have to wait for nicer weather so I can drag the blast cabinet outside or there will be baking soda everywhere.

I think you are better off buying these new. The carb slides in particular wear and cause poor running. You want new anodized slides. New springs would be good.

+1 on the above. Slides, needles and needle jets wear and cause running issues. No point in starting out on day one chasing carb gremlins !
Burlen do rebuild kits that contain the gaskets and o rings you’ll need too.
If you haven’t done so already, you should read up on how to clean out the pilot jet bushing properly (there’s approx 8 million threads on here about it), blowing air through it does / means NOTHING ...

All great advice and will heed.
Looks like there are different sized slides. I have 932 / 33 & 34; anyone know what sized slides I need? 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5?
Thanks!

Mr Bacon lists all 850's as built with 3 1/2 slides, though whether local circumstances apply? The carb numbers you quote are from Mk2a (option?).. so would have been with balanced exhaust, bean cans and plastic filter I believe.
