There is a guy on eBay who sells rebuild kits for many of the SOHC bikes. Try looking under "cb550 petcock". I've gotten ones for my CB750 and CB360 and have been very happy with them. He uses genuine Honda parts.

Hope this helps.

You can get all the parts you need at a Honda dealer.  I rebuilt the petcock on my CB500 using parts from the dealer.  If you just get the parts you need you will save money vs getting a rebuild kit from Ebay.

The rebuild kit I got on ebay had NO oring! gO to the dealer, what you save on ebay sometimes is not worth it for these small parts.
