627B carbs

[Grewth]

I'm attempting to build up a  CB550F, or something closely resembling a 550F.
I now find myself in possession of two sets of 627B carbs which I believe were originally from a CB500F.
Will these be of any use to me ?

Would it be worth trying to re-jet the 627B units to work with a 550F engine  ?
Or better to start saving my pennies towards the correct carbs ?

O ring kits best price is Nurse Julie and they actually fit!

I think that maybe the pattern silencer was strangling it.
Well I flogged it for  £600 back in 1999, and wish I'd kept it instead.
I just want my "new" 550F to pull like a good 'un
