Early big valve jobbies used the downdraft.
She's an 82 if this helps.
In that case she
should be a 12v (tank inside frame), does it have a round headlamp?
It could be a late registered 6v (tank separate and bolted to the frame by it's base), in which case it's the ZZ (key in the upper left side of the leg shields, has a 12v style exhaust originally and choke in the middle of the bars) The left side engine cover is a giveaway too as it has a small points access panel secured with 2 screws.
The reason I ask is; the round headlamp 12v C70C would have a reserve pipe and 2 tap connections whereas the square headlamp doesn't - you get a feel gauge instead.
Either way the chinkie chonk 90 carb will fit and it's probably closer jetted to use on a 70 so may work straight out of the box.
I can lend you one to try? if it works you can buy it, if it doesn't then send it back to me.

P.S I thought you could see but perhaps not! The key is indeed in the left side of the legshield.

Aw ok!
It didn't say that on my insurance, I think they went with a different letter, maybe C. Would this be an issue?
There was a list of about 10 different models with that plate.

CMSNL are good but will charge you 20 yoyos to post a washer , and if you spend over £135 in EU land you will get taxed in this country as well ,so try a Honda dealer in this country .
