Mike's CB550 Project
Bryanj:
If feul is comming out of there you have a float valve or two leaking fuel constantly into the float bowls, or possibly the O ring around the seat
Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks all. When I get back to the bike next week I will carefully check float valves and seats.
DomP:
Have fun Mike, my carbs (069a) are still giving me some grief, so much so that I've shelved it while I build my workshop. Hopefully I'll have renewed enthusiasm over Christmas when I've got fed up of visitors.
Keep at it though, you'll get there with the help of the forum!
Mike_Berkshire:
Carbs stripped and I found a tiny piece of crud in the needle valve seat of number 2 carb. Removed reassembled and no flooding! Everything back together and the bike is running again . Still hangs once off the choke after a throttle blip. H slight stopped working too so I must have dislodged a wire or 2. Smells as if it’s running rich so next opportunity I get to work on the bike I’ll check the plugs to see if they’re sooty. Progress though.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Since my 500 flooding fiasco I have fitted twin Aeroline filters in the forlorn hope of avoiding any repeat.
