CB500/550 / Re: CB500 K0 Carbs
« on: May 21, 2019, 07:49:16 PM »
Well I'm still struggling to get the bike to run properly. Re-checked timing and valve clearances but she just feels starved of fuel. Float levels set at 22 mm and all new jets and even removed the fuel strainer and air filter to eliminate these as being a cause of the problem.
Was wondering whether it is possible to fit the emulsion tubes too high in the body of the carb so that the needle valve is closing down the fuel flow too much?
Any thoughts from anyone will be greatly appreciated.

I've put in the standard 100 main jet plus all the other bits as per the kit from David Silver! Fine for a 627B but not for the 069A's that I've got.
However, I've just bought a set of 627B's from the US so I can pop them in the Ultrasonic cleaner, swap over all the jets, etc, that I've just fitted then hopefully Bob's your uncle!

Thanks for your inputs. I think that you are confirming that I've got the wrong carbs fitted!

Hi Guys and Gals. I've just got my hands on a 1971 CB500 K0 fitted with 069A Carbs and am really struggling to get it to run rich enough despite having rebuild them and fitted all new jets, etc. I am beginning to wonder whether these are the correct carbs for the bike? Any ideas.....
