Mike's CB550 Project

<< < (39/55) > >>

Oddjob:
Flanged nuts Mike, can't use tab washers on flanged nuts, hence why they didn't fit them. Personally I'd prefer plain nuts and the lock nuts in that location.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Mike fwiw, my needles are now in the middle position, when I bought the bike it was one groove down, so richer.

I changed the brassware for a good replacement 500 K1 set from Ken, they are 550 carbs on my 500, I also changed the air side screws for the ones that are hollowed out.

Mike_Berkshire:
Thanks guys. Is it possible to do the needles with the carbs still fitted and what setting/height/groove should I set the needles to?

Sesman:
Mike.

NUTS. For the avoidance of doubt see the attached…front and rear.

Sesman:
Yes. I’d start with 2nd groove on 069A carbs. 4th groove if 022A carbs.
