1972 engine / 1976 carbs = match?
« on: May 02, 2014, 06:31:09 PM »
Hey guys,

I have a 1972 CB550 engine and 1976 CB550 carbs.

Would this be an issue? Any mods needed to be compatible, or just bolt straight on and good to go?

Please tell me bolt on :)

first year of the 550 was 1974, so you have a 72 500 engine.

there are differences, needle taper would probably be most important.   don't really have much experience with that combination myself.

Hey mate, Tim from eBay here. Let me know if you have any questions about those carbs. I'll close the action tomorrow when I'm in an actual computer and send them as soon as payment comes through. Cheers
