reading the other post about mixture screw setting i thought i would ask about a slight issue i have with Lazarus the 500 four. the carbs have been cleaned and rebuilt to standard spec, 100 main jats and 40 pilot. when i first got it on the road it was running very rich so adjusted pilpt screws until it ran better ( out is weaker BTW). thing is i have them turned out almost three full turns as thats when it runs best with no flat spots and pulls well. If I put 38 pilot jets would this bring adjustment back to normal range?

see how all the ribs are equal, the f2/k3 have one rib that is lower. so this 500 hub not compatable with the f2 brakeplate as this pic.

decided to sell my stash of 500 and 550 parts as probably wont do another resto. I have 2 sets of carbs, 627b correct for cb500 four, 100 mains 40 slow jets. one set is pretty clean but will need a rebuild, and looks complete, i bought them for spares but never used them. £100 plus postage. another set not as good abit crusty inside but solid should rebuild ok but missing a couple of small bits such as one main jet spring. £60 plus post. also an odd carb 022a which i think fits 550. its a bare body at the moment and has been in the ultrasonic so pretty clean, and i think i can build a complete carb if needed, its a no 3 carb i think. £20 for that. lots of small bits of carbs including a stainless steel operating bar made by an ex member here. thanks for looking.

The 15mm taps are much easier to find, I needed the bigger size and really struggled to find one.

ok maybe i dont have a problem after all. today took it out on country lanes with little traffic and tried revving it in neutral, no issue with that, then set off and gave it some stick in first and second, again went to redline easily. tried this a few times and was fine so got on a better road and rode it like i stole it for a couple of miles. oops 80mph! I still feel a slight hesitation around 5k but revs fine. I think i was expecting too much low down power and forgot they need revs and plenty of them. thanks for advice guys and will report back with any developments

I am sure the electrics are good as all new or reconditioned. Might have a bit of time to check in next couple of days.

been thinking a bit more about this and looking online for similar problems. when i first got it on the road i had trouble with the vent on the tank cap which is a repro. in normal running it seems fine and rode 25 miles no problem, but what if it is restricting air enough to stop it revving over 5000. problem is if i open the cap at speed fuel will spill all over. thoughts?
