I have just started to do a winter project on a 1976 Honda CB550F SS.
The previous owner had been trying to get it running for a year or so. Before I start any really costly(?) work I am stripping down the carbs, checking ignition etc. Really I am starting with a good engine service to get her running before making any more expensive cosmetic work.
The carbs were quite nasty, but cleaned them up and ordered rebuild kits. I started to line up all of the components and found some parts missing. (I don't think I lost them!)
Is it possible to get the 'little' 'cups' (best description I can give) that go on the end of the springs that grip the actuating arms? There is also one felt spindle washer missing.
Any ideas on sourcing them without spending a fortune?
