Broken adjusting/syncing screw cb550k
« on: December 08, 2019, 07:39:30 PM »
Hello, I am wondering if anyone know a source for a replacement adjusting/syncing screw for a carb on a 1975 cb550k. Sorry I don’t know the technical name for it but any help would be much appreciated! Hope the pictures can help too.

Dave, that is just outside of Pasadena,  close to LA.

Only place is a used carb bank. I am in UK  and have one you can have for postage cost but at this time of year it would probably be better not to post til January!

Thank you for the replies. Was hoping it could be an easy fix but now I’m thinking I might just buy a whole used set on eBay and pick parts from it...
