You need to start with one of my O'ring oil pump kits  ;D ;D
A lot easier removing than putting on mate. Take the two bolts out of the air box , loosen off all the clips and pull the carbs towards the rear wheel. You will need to remove the tank and the cables for this job  ;)

I think the whole kit will be around six quid.
The oil pressure switch should do the trick but, check that the O'rings have not gone brittle.

Where do you get the rubbers from the air box to the carbs. I have just bought my bike and I could do with replacing one of them.

There is someone in the US who makes rubbers for the K3 and 1978 bikes. They are not the same quality as the originals, but will do at a pinch. Paul Gabor, I have his email if you need.
Phil
1971  CB500K0  Candy Jade Green or Candy Gold
1973  CB500K1  Candy Ruby Red
1975  CB550F1   Shiny Orange
1978  CB550K     Excel Black
