Does the carb have a brass drain screw?

I know the 500 does,

Would suggest you unscrew it, and see if fuel runs out

I do wonder though if I should warm it up to get any condensation out?
No,

Unless it gets to full working temperature, it's likely the moisture will turn acidic,

Ideally ride it for the minimum of 10miles,

Always get it hot,

Does anyone know if these fit a 1976 cb550 k?
I have got the hm323 pipes on and need a new set.
If you have the 323,

They will fit

Could be they have been "run in" to gently,

And the rings haven't sealed

I would if it was ready for the road but I need to sort the seat, indicators, brake light etc as its not standard anymore so I'm going to have to get inventive.  Very much a work in progress
No problem,

Get everything finalised,

Then run the motor

Glad to hear it mate

Thanks for all your help Bryan, well and Ken and many on here who've chipped in along the way, it was a great relief when it fired up.  As its not road worthy yet what should I do regarding running it in because I've yet to sort the seat and front brakes out?
Wait till its on the road,

It needs load on the engine to get it to bed in properly,
At least its running

Thanks John/Julie, yes excited is definitely the word! 

By short burst deltarider I think I was more meaning stopping if the oil light doesn't go off after say 5-10 seconds and checking for oil at the end caps.
The length of time depends on whether you filled the filter housing,

A couple of 10 seconds burst on the starter, should kill the oil light

I can use that in my Jazz,


Modern close tolerance motors,


For a few years, I used Mobil one 0-40 in the 500,

It really did like it,

Can I suggest you fill with oil as normal

With the plugs out, spin the motor on the starter till the oil light goes out

I don't know,

I would clean both joint surfaces with brake cleaner,

Use a good adhesive, something that lists metal,

Apply to break as per instructions,

Leave in a warm place and see what happens,

There is hardly any load on it,

If it does stick, you might want to reinforce by drilling tiny holes down through the break, fill the holes with glue and push small pins in the holes,

While the carbs are off, worthwhile to check the float heights,
