Float heights

(1/1)

Dave M:
Hi all.

My CB550F2 was registered in September 1978 and my Haynes manual goes up to 1977.

In said manual Mr Haynes says that the carb float height for the F model is 22mm.

I'm assuming that this will be for the the F1 model. Can anyone confirm that this is the right setting for my F2 carbs?

Bryanj:
Depends on the type of carbs mate, look on the top and see if the top cover is "coffin" shaped hald on with a screw at each side or "P" shaped held on with a screw at top and bottom.

It ought to be the former and have the same float setting as the 500.

Dave M:
They do have the coffin shaped tops so is Mr Haynes right at 22mm?

Bryanj:
Thats what it sez in my Genuine Honda book so for once Mr Hynes has copied it right

Dave M:
Thanks Bryan.
