Topic: CB550 Carb help

[bissinger]

I am in the latter stages of my cb550F rebuild.

#1     
After buying a set of carbs on ebay (they are extremely gummed up and i don't think they're salvagable) and having the ones that came with the bike (which are completely shot).

I've concluded that I should look elsewhere for a decent set of carbs.

So, does anyone know where I can find a set off another bike that will fit the 74 CB550F or a reasonably priced rebuild kit?

#2
I am running a megaphone exhaust and will be running pod filters.  What Size jet can you recommend? and where to get them? 

Thanks and pardon my carb ignorance.

Here's a pic of the most current progress.

The carbs from 500/550 from 71 through 76 inclusive are all basically the same bodies with different jets. alternative main jets are not easy to get but try http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/misc_carb_parts.htm#Main%20Jets
