If they are non standard chances are they are aftermarket so could well be a different design that the suppliers insist will work exactly the same!!
I'd be happy with that scenario 🤞

Sorry folks, yes should have said. 40s due to custom pods and as it idled/ran well enough low dow etc I'd like to retain them.
Delta rider. I wouldnt doubt Trigger for a second 😉
K2-K6 interesting, thanks. Hadn't thought of it like that at all. I have a spare trigger one arriving tomorrow from david silver. I'll maybe use them in the two central carbs so not just one is different albeit same ish👍

If you use Tapatalk it gives you the option of various picture sizes to upload.
Downloaded an app "compress 2" and even I can use it 👍
1024 is fine. Any bigger is wasted.
Of course, the pictures have to be on your phone.

I'm renowned for ordering wrong parts but this is crazy. The small jet is out my carbs, snapped obviously. The middle one I got from Trigger on here and fits my carbs but is obviously different. The end one is from Ebay and way wrong. All down and marked as slow jet #40. Wont know if any work until weekend but how can they be so different if all slow jets and all 40s?

Does anybody know anywhere who does single slowjets?
Yep, me  Have some Keihin 40 slows.
Can I order one please trigger? I'll order the boring kit from Julie too. Just ordered one from david silver but it's no doubt incorrect like everything else I order 😂 are yours same as this?

Yes, mine are the same so, no point me sending you a slow when you have one coming
Have you just bought this bike, built it yourself or was it built by a custom shop ?
Many moons ago I built engines for a famous custom bike building company and they used to give a copy of the build pictures to the customer but, they would never give a copy of the parts list to build the bike/trike. This was done so if you needed a part you would have to return to them as, you could never figure out what parts from what bike were fitted.
I'd still like a spare please. Bought in January privately. Few things needed sorted brakes and carbs. Done the front brakes so now onto carbs. It's an interesting tale I shall regale at some point as it's been a chop from late 70s👍

Typical Trigger 😂 Just ordered one from david silver. No idea if correct one or not though as everything else I tend to order is incorrect. Can I purchase one of yours also please as sure you'll have the right ones. I'm going to hoard all these wrong parts and sell them for millions in years to come 😂

Sometimes people change things because they think it's needed. 550s use 38 pilots, next one readily available would be the 500s 40 jets, won't hurt it TBH and may just help a little. Don't worry about it.
Kickstart on the 550 was bigger than needed so I can see why the 500 would look more attractive, lighter, smaller and TBH just looks better. If you didn't need the hinging feature I'd have changed it as well
All makes sense Odsjob, thanks 👍 I'll stop panicking when I find a new #40 pilot jet, any ideas?

Weird as the 550 had 38 pilot jets not 40. 500 had the 40 pilots, 100 main and the 550 38 pilots and 98 mains.
500 are straight bolt on, the jets interchange with the 550 ones no problem. Visually identical but very minor internal mods.
Now this is getting scary 😲 pilots are certainly 40s. Haven't checked mains yet. With someone mentioning kickstart looked like 500, minds in overdrive here 😂

Hows that trigger?
Only the number will relate to a 1973 bike. No one would buy a new bike and chop it
The only part I can see that is from a CB500 Four 1973 is the rear hub 
I would and indeed did albeit an accident damaged new bike 😁
