CAR PARTS CATALOG : of course it's a matter of demand and supply, if your state/area hasnever had a VW dealer for example, then maybe there never have been muchold VW's around, and therefore no need for spare parts..? I have never had the need to hunt for whole distributors, so I can't sayhow easy it would be to find one from one of the "usual" aftermarket sources. But that may be the magic words, maybe yourcatalogs are from companies who specialize in aftermarket parts (I.E.Non-original). AFAIK, nobody makes aftermarket stock distributors. The first local VW parts source I just checked, carries the vacuum canat 13 USD a piece. I believe it is the later, smaller style, which iswhat is best for the 34mm carb. Even they have differences I think. Theonline parts catalog of the said source did not give any detailed data.Their web pages are only in finnish at the moment, so the URL is kindauseless for you.. Here goes anyway:
CAR PARTS CATALOG : "A microfiche card is a very helpful reference tool that you can use whenmaking repairs to your vehicle. The card is like a film negative - itcontains part number for each and every item that makes up your machine andprovides detailed exploded views of every major assembly. For example if youwere repairing a water pump and needed to know what the part numbers andindividual items that make up the entire assembly the fiche would show youand you would be able to order parts before ever getting your hands dirty.When it comes time to order your parts you'll look smart. You'll know you'regetting the correct part, your dealer will often give you a discount if theydon't have to look up the part number, and you'll have a betterunderstanding of how the parts work in relation to your vehicle."
CAR PARTS CATALOG : Well thats the sales pitch from a firm these ridiculously priced pieces ofplastic....handy things maybe but you've also got to fork out for amicrofiche reader. ( a tidy sum )Now with todays technology,surely some one out there is burning these to CD.Are they out there yet? or am I going to need to do this myself????The vast majority of public libraries have microfiche readers. Bigger branchesalso frequently have readers which can print out hard copies. (Gotta pay forthe hardcopies, though.)And, yes, the microfiche is invaluable if you ever want to order partsdirectly.--Michael J. Freeman (a.k.a., Pi) Oxford, OH"Insanity runs in the family; it practically gallops"Ellison, H. Thompson, D. Parker, Prince, SRV, Led ZepIf you have a good relationship with your dealer, and you wantmicrofiches for current models, you may be able to scrounge thesuperseded ones from them.
CAR PARTS CATALOG : I got mine for $1.50 or less from the Kawasaki shop. I went to the state surplus property division's warehouse and picked up a 3M microfiche reader for $10, and put a $20 bulb in it._____________________________________ __________________________________ Clint Fleckenstein | CRA #87 | DoD #5150 | 1993 & 94 ZX-7s, '97 ZX-6R | Email: hakkoryu at uswest.net | Web page: | Master Control/Operations - KFYR-TV5, KQCD-TV7, KMOT-TV10, KUMV-TV8 | ----- Hakkoryu Karate Jitsu ------- Sanano Karate, Arnis De Mano -----+I don't think 6 bucks is alot for a Microfiche. Now I just have to figure aninexpensive way to read the sucker! When you figure one out let me know. I surewould like to, at least, print out every page on paper. Not to change the subject too much... any idea on how much it would cost toget the software program that MC shops use in their parts depts?
CAR PARTS CATALOG : I checked out their website and it looks like they only do cars. When youwere talking about your Honda, did you mean a car?No, I did not mean a Honda car. Helm, Inc. sells the parts catalog onpaper for my bike, a 1981 Honda CB900C. I suspect they probably don'thave the fiche or paper parts catalog for *all* Honda bikes, but theydefinitely sell owner's manuals and workshop manuals for most Hondabikes sold in the US, as well as books for a number of cars, includingHonda, Ford, Isuzu, Subaru, Suzuki (car only, not Suzuki bikesunfortunately), GM, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, and Acura, in no particularorder.Look again on the main page of their website at and you will see 'Honda Motorcycles' listed as the third category inthe left hand column, in between Acura and Isuzu. Click on the 'partscatalog' link under 'Honda Motorcycles' and you'll get a form where youcan select the year and type (All models, All-Terrain vehicles,Dual-Sport, Off-Road, Street, and Scooters).
