CB 500 resurrection
Trigger:
Are the carbs 550 or 500 ? There is a number on the side to ID them. CB500 carbs run different needles and jets to the 550 ;)

The engine bolt should definitely stick out further than that through the foot peg, as you need to get a nut and washer on yet.

Thanks for the pics with such a mix of parts its hard to know what is genuine 500, Ive got some 12mm all thread so Ill cut to size and use that.

The carbs also need bench setting, they appear massively out of balance looking at the adjuster screws.
