CB550F Keihin Genuine Jets
« on: December 12, 2021, 10:15:15 AM »
Anyone have any idea which jet I need to order for my '76 550 069 carbs?  I just want to buy genuine slow jets because the carbs I have seem to have been partially rebuilt with Keyster parts and I don't know if they are even correct.

The jet dimensions for the ones I have are:
OVERALL LENGTH = 28mm
THREAD DIAMETER = 3.4mm
HEAD DIAMETER = 5.5mm
TIP DIAMETER = 2.0mm

But jetsrus only has a 40 as the smallest in that size.  The jets I have seems to fit fine, but if I want to keep the 38 it seems like I need to order what appears to be the same jet, just a longer overall dimension:

OVERALL LENGTH = 32mm
THREAD DIAMETER = 3.4mm
HEAD DIAMETER = 5.5mm
TIP DIAMETER = 2.0mm

So I'm hoping someone has a jet laying around or took note when they rebuilt theirs.  My last rebuild was all stock so I never needed to buy or size any jets.
