Topic: Stock Needle Setting 1976 CB 550?

[jklophaus]

Hi,

Bought an old 76 cb 550F that was half cafe'd out and had pods on it.  Trying to return it to stock settings with full stock airbox.  I found this very helpful chart:

sohc4.net/?p=230

It shows the carb needle set at the 2nd groove.  Is that from the top or bottom?  Guessing from the top, but I wanted to get confirmation, changing needle settings is some work.

Thanks for the help -Jason

From the top (≠ tip!)

thanks for the help!  Saved me hours, was thinking it was from the tip side.
