550 float valve types
« on: August 12, 2025, 10:54:11 AM »
Hi,

Can anyone confirm the different types of float valve for the 550,s ? Mine is a K3 but it has the earlier (better, easier to set-up  ?) carbs so are all the float valves the same apart from the K3 ones which I know are different

T.I.A.

All CB500/550s except the K3 models have the same float parts.

Thanks very much,
Incredibly it was peeing out of number 2 carb and tried the usual things, I've just been and drained the bowl then turned fuel back on and not a drip ! Maybe a little bit of crap or stuck float (got to love these old bikes 🙂)
