CB500/550 / Re: top end gasket set recomendations
« Last post by paulbaker1954 on Today at 12:38:03 PM »
I went through a nightmare around DS aftermarket gasket set tring to fix an oil leak.

 I ended up using the aftermarket O rings along with a proper Honda OEM gasket plus having head skimmed.

As many have said the relative thickness of head gasket and O rings is critical to getting a oil tight seal.

Looking at the wiring diagrams I seems the 4 wire switch has two browns linked into one, I wonder if its as simple as doing that?

Thank you, re the orientation of the slides, I did see a video that advised this, fingers crossed I manage to get that one right!

You know the saying, 'The person who never made a mistake never made anything'.
Well done for finding the problem 👍

Chatting with Roo earlier when he suggested I used the old K style frame mounted ignition, I could make up a bracket if I can't find an original but there is a wiring difference - 5 wires on my F as opposed to 4 on a K switch.  Is there a wiring solution?

I figured it was time to bite the bullet and see what carburettors are all about!! I have stripped them ready for cleaning and was feeling quite pleased with myself when I saw a small spring that I hadn’t accounted for, it’s not from the internals for sure, I’m confident it is from the hardware on the outside somewhere and I’m sure I can figure that out. 

What really stumped me was the diaphragms that I ordered from NRP, I realise that I have no idea how to change them, can they be done without cutting the plastic holding rings, I’m sure they aren’t called plastic holding rings but hopefully you know what I mean!!




Not sure if you have discussed this yet?  when re-installing the slides and diaphragms into the carbs the slides need to be put in the correct orientation with the 2 holes in the bottom toward the rear of the bike. I found out the hard way! if not correct the slide will "hammer" and after less then 25 miles it was all buggered and locked up and leaned one side out. Pipe immediately turned blue.

It would have been nice if Honda put a pin and a slot like almost all the other models.
