HI new to this forum but am learning a lot already. Here goes nothing. Recently was given a cb550k motor was lock up odometer reads 28000+ miles. So in goes tranny fluid wait a few days and ....... shaazm freed up motor!!! SO next move see how the compression is and what do you know I have 145+or- across all 4. Me being just like a little kid I put some gas in the carbs and let it set for a week. Had bigger fish to fry. Any hoo come back drain carbs fresh gas and oil hooked up battery and a little figdetting with wires (no keys) hit the button and first crank bike fires right up but no idle. So my question is where to buy complete carb kits needle, seat, idle jets, gaskets and floats? Will be rebuilding all carbs back to factory specs considering I REALLY HATE THOSE SINGLE FILTERS. Just kidding just like the factory look of these old bikes. Does anybody know why these carbs where only out for two years? Oh and by the way a seat off a cb 500 fits perfectjy on my bike frame. Well until I get the rest of my parts for the guy who gave me this bike I will just keep on cleaning and dreaming of the day I will ride Sophie (name of the bike).
