 Would help to know what bike and carbs, but it looks like the piece that goes in the slide linkage on a 500/550 carb.

Me thinks like Scott. May I ask why you would want to split the carbs?

Good luck polishing. I don't know if you've owned your bike a long time, but be aware your carbs will be dirty again in no time as they're in some sort of vacuum behind the engine when riding and as most 500/550s tend to leak a bit of oil at the head gasket...

I think Scott is right.  Probably rests against one of the adjustment springs.

What model CB550 do you have? Or carbnumber? You can try by studying the diagrams but unfortunately Honda didn't describe a few tiny parts. I know, not much help, but if we know what type carbs you have, we can maybe narrow it down.

I have had that bit fall out when pulling a slide out to change the needle clip position. It goes in one of the 4 spring loaded canisters above the ball joint that you have to pull out to get the slide out. When it falls out or turns around the wrong way I glue it in the correct way up with a tiny dab of grease so it will stay put while putting the ball joint back in.
