77/78 750 carbs use the standard screw in mains.  Its the pilots that are press in . . .

Sorry, I missed the mains part. I assumed they all had screw in mains....the only time I see questions about press in jets is for the pilots in the 77-78 carbs. I gotta start reading these posts a little closer  :-[

I had a 1975 CB550K and my main jest were not press-in.

I got mine from sirus. I used 115 for pods and 4-1 open pipe worked fine for me. I may have ran a tad rich but it got great gas mileage, great pick up and it snarled on decell.

good luck!

Wait just a minute!
After seeing a picture on that website, now i cant remember if mine were push or screw in!!
oh well. they are on or the other....
That site looks to be reasonably priced, about the same @ sirus so i guess it boils down to shipping cost.
