CB500/550 / alternative reg/rec

« on: February 10, 2011, 01:08:18 PM »

As i am working my way through my carb woes, i spotted that a phase wire had fell off the rectifier again. there is not enough to solder too.
is there a combined (more modern) unit that would be suitable i was told cb 900 ones will work.
i came across this

would it be suitable?
any help much appreciated.

CB500/550 / Import 78 carb parts

« on: August 31, 2010, 01:05:51 PM »

As the title says, Ive bought some later type carbs and the bike feels weak at part throttle,
so Ive been trying to source some larger pilot jets.
it turns out they are push ins.
allens don't stock them and David silvers say they cant find anything either, can anyone help?
the bike is currently fitted with #42 and i would like to try #45/#48. are there drills that small?
any help much appreciated.
Ta FLC.

Hi folks found this site from usa one,
just bought a 550k on a p plate with a few problems,
hope you guys can offer some help.
i just won some carbs on ebay they are the later type (3 screws to hold the float bowls on) mine were the 4 bolt older type,
the carbs fit fine but the throttle cables seam way too short?
the bike runs fine other than this, does anyone have a pic of how the cables run.
or part numbers are they different they need to be about 30mm longer.
thanks in advance Flc.
