Good Morning All
Mutely is not well ! I have a set of Honda CB 550 K3 KEIHIN 6273 carbs N03 crab has started to weep and doesn't seem to want to stop even after a good run down the road ( checking behind me 1st ;D ) This might be a good time to have the carbs sonically cleaned and etc and reassembled can anyone recommend a company that could do this as I am not confident enough to do this on my own I live up in NE Yorkshire area so if a company is up this way great.
Thank all for taking the time to read this any help and advice would be most appreciated.
Best Regards
Gromitddog. & Mutely the bike

550K3 should have PD carbs not the ones you have which are for an F. 500 carbs are same except jets.
I only know of one person doing carbs and they are in Holland and cost over £300 now due to the B word

You sure it's not 627B not 6273?

Remembered its Gerben in Holland

Is Matt Harper (Nantwich) still doing carbs?

Yes, Matt is still doing carbs and does some Honda SOHC/4 ones, as he buys the Viton O ring kits from me. I've never used him myself though for carb overhauls.

I don’t believe that’s a recommendation to use PD carbs.

PD carbs are definitely a challenge. Reluctant to deliver enough fuel to start the bike from cold and tight fisted with fuel around mid-range. Apart from that there fine. 😂😂
