They are generally for wheel alignment but I am yet to come across a bike, new or old, where these seem to mean anything in relation to wheel alignment.

Can you shed some more light. Mine (CB500) seem to be allright.

Old style Kei-hins like the 069A are easier to work on. If your K3 is already modified (airfilter, exhaust) I see no objection.

I wouldn't open anything yet. Is #4 still peeing, then tap the float bowl with the stub end of a screwdriver. Maybe the needle frees. How old is the gas? After sitting for such a long time an additive like Seafoam, Forté, Tunap or other wouldn't hurt. Great stuf to 'lube' floatneedles and the like. I'd say almost mandatory.

Reg can brake down and over power the plugs burning the diode out.

BTW, my 500 starts within a blink next day after being used, two days later still perfect, three days later still OK, but... when bike has stood for 5 days or more it is hard to start. Nothing to do with battery charge (checked this), nothing to do with gas or carbs (checked this too).
Suggestions anyone?

Could it be something simple as (very) old gas?

Interesting. The US 500K2's were 1973 and didn't have the colors and striping of the later 500K2 [ED, F, G] for Europe in 1976.

Honda had various cables as the models had various handlebars. US had highrise handlebars, Europe not.

That makes me curious. What does that exhaust modification sticker say? Can't remember having seen one.

That refers to the 500. On p. 141-2 you'll find service data for the 550.
