Topic: 74 CB550 Jetting?

[Dan K]

Hi Again,

I've got a 74 CB550F.  Stock exhaust, etc.  Airbox internals are shot.  I'm looking to remove the air box and go with pod filters.  Will run it with no airbox or the stock airbox with the internals removed for now.  Anyone have an idea what to run for jets, either with a gutted airbox, no airbox or pods?  One of the first two options preferably, as I'd like to get it running ASAP and pods will require waiting.

Thanks,

Dan

Also, the carbs on this thing are in really tough shape.  I have access to 750 carbs but research leads me to believe they won't swap in.  What if I change the metal parts between the heads and the carbs as well?  I've got access to plenty of CB750 parts including complete carb banks that don't have the issues mine do.
