16010 323 305

carb gasket set 

anybody tell me if this is suitable kit for carbs on my bike

78 550k

[SteveD CB500K0]

The 323 in the number indicates that it is for the carbs that originated on the 500 (ie the "627" carbs with the side-side screws on the carb top)

If your 78 is a K3 then you have the later (front-back screws on the carb top) and it's the wrong kit.

Your model number will be 404 in this case.

reason i am asking david silvers have no stock on carb gaskets for my bike ( apparently hard to get spares for the carbs )

seller on e bay who has 4 sets ( nos ) says will fit 550 as well

this site seems to confirm ... carbs are  keihin, 3 screws on front, 2 on back

superseded part no?

Carb sets with 323 WILL NOT fit on the 77/78 550  you need :-

16010-393-305 or 16010-404-004

These also fit the CB750Auto which is even less common than the 550K3.

Last time i checked they were still available from Honda just not cheep

NRP do overhaul kits for lots of carbs, said they did them for cb550k3 when I asked a few years back when they were at Stafford show
