1975 CB550 Carb Drain Screw
« on: April 11, 2011, 10:46:19 AM »
Does anyone know what size the Carb Drain Screws are? Also, anyone have a good source online? It looks like mine were replaced at some point with some that are not brass. They are supposed to be brass correct? And I will also be getting some new o-rings as well, which I found the size of in a post on the forum. Thanks!

If I remember well: 6mm, fine thread (0,75). And yep, they're supposed to be messing.

Thanks for the link.
Found this one there but not sure if it fits yet...my model isn't listed but doesn't mean it's not the same as another. I'm just too new at this to find out easily. I'll maybe have to call.

They also have this one.

I called but they aren't sure if the part fits.

Anyone know if these are interchangeable with CB750 K0-K6 1969 - 1976?
