Partially Restored 74 CB550
davidcumbria:
Fitted the barells today and when pushed as far down as possible they rockslightly on the restrictor valves that act as seating dowels. Tried tapping down quite hard with mallet and wood protector but it still doesn't seat flush see photo.id yhis as expected and will it pull down with the cylinder head nuts. Right now if would leak like a sieve.
Nurse Julie:
Are you sure you have the restrictor jets in the right way up?

Had a look at parts diagram and it looks like the larger diameter end fits into the engine case in which case you are spot on Julie - they are upside down. Will try again tommorow - so glad I checked before trying to fit cylinder head.

Definitely upside down have seen a photo in the magazine engine rebuild article - which btw us very useful. Great remote diagnosing Julie 👍
