Title: CB550 K0 Float Bowl Gaskets
Post by: GTB981 on December 24, 2019, 04:05:48 PM

Need a set of float bowl gaskets for my CB550K0 after renewing float valves. Where`s the best place ? Thanks, Geoff.

Same as 500, probably cheapest to get O ring kits from Gerben

What, as in a kit of O-rings ?  when I searched I couldn`t see carb o-ring kits.

Is this the kit you're looking for?

I used 68mm x 2mm Viton O rings. They were a tad big, but got them in the groove ok. Came off ebay.

Have had the float bowls off my carbs a few times, never renewed the gaskets and has never leaked, guess I'm lucky ?

Same here. The later model bowl helped.

68mm x 2mm is 68mm I /D x 2mm section, so is 68mm I /D x 72mm O/D.
