Got carbs back from Gerben today, excellent job.

CB500/550 / CB550 F2 Airbox
« on: January 25, 2020, 07:03:51 PM »
And so the search goes on.

In a previous post I described how the 550F2 I bought had come with 4 bell mouths on the carbs, and I was wanting to take it back to the original airbox.

Two members have come up with generous offers of, the carb to the airbox chamber(13) and the air filter box(14) and the brackets that the air cleaner box fits to the air chamber from the carbs with (3, 4, 15 and 17).

I am still short of the lid  that comprises of parts 9, 10, and 11 along with part 7, the lid that screws onto the filter box.

I also am short of No's 5, 19, 20, 21 and 22 from the filter box itself.

All the Numbers come from the CMSNL list.

I know it's a big ask, but if you could have a look in your spares boxes. I would willingly pay for any items you have.

Many thanks

Hi,

An educated guess , from the pics they do look high to me. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will be able to give you a more accurate method of reducing the height of the slides.  Bill W.

Brianj,

Thanks for the reply. As you say I think it makes sense to go back to the original airbox.

On that note, does anyone have one lying around they would be willing to part with?

If so how much do you want for it?

Thanks  Bill W.

Hi,

When I got the bike, the carbs were fitted with bellmouths like the old Monobloc carbs.

Would keeping these be OK or would a change back to the original airbox and filter be a better option?

Cheers  Bill W

Hi Julie,
I will probably need the 3 I mentioned plus the one that is in the alternator housing.

Thanks. Bill W.

I am about to get the carbs sorted out on my project CB550 F2. They are keihin carbs. What model of carb was fitted to the cb550 and are the

carbs marked in any way that will tell me what model they are?

Thanks Bill W.

Helicoil is definitely the way to go. I helicoiled one of the rear crankcase bolts after drilling out the bit of the bolt that was left. Worked a treat.
