Baltimore CB550 build
« on: October 01, 2012, 04:37:30 PM »
Howdy all, I'm new to posting but I've been lurking for a couple months now. I officially introduced myself here with a little write-up...

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=113415.0

Aside from countless other things that need to be done I'm trying to figure out the jetting on this thing. I kind of gathered from searching around here that the best thing to do is to get it back to stock, get it working properly and then start from there. I had some trouble with one of the carbs overflowing and opened it up and found a little chunk of something sitting in there. I also checked the others while I had the bank off and did very minimal cleaning just to feel better about having them off. I can't find the paper that I was referencing for the stock jet sizes but I remember that the PO had 1 jet size in there from a 550K and the other was from a K and according to the paper I had, that wasn't correct. I also know that those mismatched jets are not correct for the missing filter pods/ opened header that's on here now.
