A light smear of Honda Bond on the pucks. Daunting I know but, why don't you do the work yourself?. Its a way of learning and there are all the resources you need on the forum in the way of advice and encouragement
All you need to do the job is a 3/8 drive socket set with 6 sided sockets and the manual downloadable from Alladins cave. Its the 500 manual with supplements for the differences on 550, for what you are doing no differences
The Honda manual is writen assuming you have a good basic knowledge, if unsure ask and i/we will explain it better-----maybe!!
First thinhg with carbs is on the mixture scres should be a spring, tiny washer and very tiny O ring that all need to be there but get easily lost. O ring also gets stuck in the "hole" and needs to be removed.
