carb o rings set
« on: September 17, 2014, 05:55:45 pm »
so I got these o rings in the carbs(cb 550) except for the 8 for the "fuel T connectors". I have no idea where these are nor if I have the inclination to replace if alot of disassembly required. Any input? Thanks!

Should say what year or type carbs you have.  But, if they are the early type, they go between the carbs at the fuel tube supply.  Must remove the outer carbs from the stay plate to change them.

If the carbs aren't leaking at the T joint, I would leave the carbs alone and not pull them apart.  I never have replace mine yet

Yep, same here. Leave them alone.
