« on: May 28, 2010, 10:05:22 AM »
Just wondering if someone knows how to sync the carbs on a 78 cb550k.......I have the clymer manual but it only show the carbs from earlier 550's which are "not" the same.

You'll have to remove the top covers to get to the adjusters. #2 carb (second from the left) is the mothercarb: that one is fixed and can't be adjusted. Are you sure your carbs are out of sync?

Delta is spot on the mark.

But, you might want to download the Honda manual supplements that address the PD style carb details.
