42
 out of stock till end of march

http://www.siriusconinc.com/pro-detail.php?pid=&product_id=1109

35

in stock

so what is the difference between the two and any way I can use the no 35 jets ?

Bryanj:
The number is the size of the jet, bigger the number more fuel, I will look at the manual later and see if it quotes a size standard

Bryanj:
According to the Honda 550K3 manual supplement:-

Main jet 90
Air jet    130 (don't ask me where this is as I don't know!)
Slow jet  38
Slow air jet 150 (don't know either!)
Jet needle setting   3rd groove E2349F
Float height 14.5mm
Pilot screws 1 1/2 turns out

There are different numbers for the 500K3 which was never officialy imported to either UK or USA but was in Europe

Bryanj:
Yes those are the correct ones, like i said i sorted out a link in a rush!!!

Those are of course for a standard airbox and exhaust set up

MikeM:
ok so doing the screw jets looks I am missing 2 parts, checked and double checked and I cant see them in the carbs, thought it could feel something in no 4 carb but the metal washer came out so taking it rubber washer totally gone , metal washer missing from no 1

so  I have carb rebuild kits (4 of course)

so where can I get 1 small washer

also in the carb rebuild kit 5 o rings ? so far I have came across 1 needed
