carb kits for 74 cb550 k
« on: September 25, 2005, 08:49:39 PM »
Looking for suggestions as to which brand of carb kits give the best results, (when properly installed of course), and part numbers for such kits if available. Bike is a totally stock cb 550 k0 with original carbs. Also, where is the best place to get them? Thanks...jim

I've not found a need to replace any parts inside these carbs besides the o rings and seals.  These are all contained in kits available from Honda.  $15-$20 per carb.
 If you don't have a local Honda Dealer or motorcycle shop that will help you, You could try these.

Yes it does.  But it doesn't go to carb kits (it goes to the German tank/sidecover emblem site)

There is a link in the FAQs for carb kits.
