Doms CB550F1 project
Trigger:
I would of taken a chance as, not listed as spares and repair ;)
Oddjob:
I have a spare number 4 carb body, 069a, and most of the internals for the rest of the carb bodies, I'm just waiting for Dom to see if he needs anything else besides the carb body, an emulsion tube and the jet leaf spring. Looking at the state of his carbs it's likely that he will.
DomP:
I wasn't prepared to take the chance given his response, removing 4 screws per bowl would take all of 5 mins. Any way I've carefully drifted all four emulsion tubes out, no4 is damaged although the internal orifice that the needle enters is ok but really needs replacing, other than some float straightening on all other carbs they are good.
In short I think I need the body of carb no4, it's emulsion tube, main jet and the retaining spring, or just a complete no4 carb. I've spent most of this afternoon stripping the black rattle can paint off them, carb cleaner wrinkles it up nicely.

The needle enters the emulsion tube and that is its guide ;)
Did you get all the float pins out OK ?
DomP:
All float pins came out easily Trigger, the pin entry end of the emulsion tube is only slightly marred on the top edge but I'll replace it anyway.
