The curved one is to adjust the rear shocks.

The 500 with 649A carbs (78 main jets) and airbox cover performed equally well as models with the 627B carbs (100 main jets). Top speed in Dutch and German tests prooved 179 km/h. BTW, I never managed more than 170 km/h @ 8500 rpm, but I weigh 90 kg, am 196 cm tall and was not dressed like a test pilot. On the dyno my bike reached the theoretical top speed of 185 km/h @ 9250 rpm.
Many years ago, out of curiosity I tested with 100 main jets and the airbox cover removed on the road. Germans did the same. With standard 4 in 4 exhausts it didn't bring anything but extra intake noise, but feel free to experiment. Needle standard is in 3rd (middle) groove, air screw is one turn out +/- 1/8. Slow jet is 40. Stock paper filter element is best. Float level is 22 mm (but is always right unless somebody messed with them).

... until ruined by people who do not read the manual properly. Bryan, maybe people have read the wrong manual, knowing the Note in italics in Clymer on p. 26.

The moral of the story: don't buy Continental supertwin tyres ?

They are generally for wheel alignment but I am yet to come across a bike, new or old, where these seem to mean anything in relation to wheel alignment. ?Can you shed some more light. Mine (CB500) seem to be allright.

Old style Kei-hins like the 069A are easier to work on. If your K3 is already modified (airfilter, exhaust) I see no objection.

I wouldn't open anything yet. Is #4 still peeing, then tap the float bowl with the stub end of a screwdriver. Maybe the needle frees. How old is the gas? After sitting for such a long time an additive like Seafoam, Forté, Tunap or other wouldn't hurt. Great stuf to 'lube' floatneedles and the like. I'd say almost mandatory.

Reg can brake down and over power the plugs burning the diode out. ?BTW, my 500 starts within a blink next day after being used, two days later still perfect, three days later still OK, but... when bike has stood for 5 days or more it is hard to start. Nothing to do with battery charge (checked this), nothing to do with gas or carbs (checked this too). Suggestions anyone?

Could it be something simple as (very) old gas?

Interesting. The US 500K2's were 1973 and didn't have the colors and striping of the later 500K2 [ED, F, G] for Europe in 1976.

Honda had various cables as the models had various handlebars. US had highrise handlebars, Europe not.
