I can't imagine where this one is from either ?

Can't calculate seal size but could it be the seal for the long clutch push rod? 26 in diagram?

Thank you very much , you are very kind , maybe I should have told you in the beginning what is a 1977 France F2 and maybe that was not my kit , but I think it will work anyway . I don't know if it will be the same as the oil seal which no longer has the metal washer.
But I think the one in the kit will hold.
In the photo you can see a mark on the trunnion that was made by the washer.

Where I bought it I said for 500 and 550 ´this is the product in cmsnl, I think it only varies in the one of the clutch regulator and in the push rod cap, I think I will not have problems
I will replace the same cap
today I'm going to put the parts together

ask the experts, inside the seals do I usually put a little grease for pneumatic seals,
 on the outside? Should I put in some Hondabond?

[murdock]

ok, no problem, thank you very much

[murdock]

There are 2 different types of gas tank for the 550f.

hello again, after rebuilding the engine I think it has not yet run or 100 kilometers and as the motorcycle is the same or worse than before, with the problems of trying to work well with individual filters, changing jets, raising and lowering the needle and removing the carburetors hundreds of times, more than now perfectly configure the points that were never right the problem has worsened and now everything is black smoke this problem I have been carrying for many years I think I will return to the original filter box, my carburettors are the 069 a ( ss 1977 )
I know that the factory setting is 38 slow, 98 main, 22 mm float, but what I am not clear about is the position of the clip, is it the second from bottom to top?
the exhaust is 4 to 1 not original, it is a cheap megaphone that sounds loud, but I don't think it needs any adjustment

Needles originalyin centre groove but oce youalter induction orexhaust all bets are off

[murdock]

OK THANKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 5 NOTCHES
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS (but you change the induction or exhaust all bets are off.) Sorry we don't speak the same language

[murdock]

I think you ask me if I change the air inlet, I will replace once and for all what ever the motorcycle had the original air box with all its components except the rubber nozzle that goes under the seat, since I have changed for a flatter seat and it does not fit, I have exhausted my passience with the individual filters, more or less it worked, but, after rebuilding the engine and tuning the ignition, it no longer works well

[Bryanj]

It means thatonce you start altringthe inlet or exhaust nobody has any idea of what to do

If we're talking the CB550F model, there will be no middle position for the jet needle, as there are only 4 positions in total. According to the original Shop Manual Honda CB500-550 p.165*, needle clip needs to be 2^nd from top. Caution: top is top and not tip. When you lower the clip on the needle, the needle's position will rise and vice versa. Main jet is #98, slow jet #38 and airscrews are supposed to be 1¹/₂ turn out ⁺/_- ¹/₂ turn. This is with genuine Keihin parts in 069A carbs.
Note that jet needles and airscrews differ from those applied in CB500/550K models. The F models had solid airscrews, the K models were open ended and cross drilled. The jet needle of the F models is tapered differently than the needle in the K models. For part numbers, you may consult the PDF below.
