CB500/550 / Emulsion tubes question
« on: August 16, 2025, 08:32:35 AM »
Good morning all..
I'm putting my 500 K1 carbs back together...
Should the emulsion tubes be a snap in tight fit or not very tight ?
My original cleaned ones push in fairly easily and not tight... do they get held in place my main jet o ring and spring once all together ?
 :)

Is it possible to install bank of carbs then wiggle in air filter rubbers ?
Just trying to figure best way of putting all back in without mashing everything..

CB500/550 / Carb rubbers question
« on: July 26, 2025, 09:01:44 AM »
Hello all, I have removed my carbs from 500K1 to clean out and replace float valves & seats after as they are overflowing.
Question is.. the inlet rubbers are very hard and stuck and I reckon they need replacing as I can't see they will go back on as so stiff.. are the pattern ones ok or oem best / better ? Are they fexible when new and is there a best re installation order with rubbers / carbs / airbox side ?
Thanks for any help with this.. as I'm sure you know it's all very tight in there. :o)

Hello all,
new here...well into my 60's and after years of many Honda's...I recently got an old 500 four K1 ( I think) registered uk 1975
which runs and sounds great but needs some tlc and usual old bike tinkering
Glad to have found this most useful site :o)
