Need a carb part

[Ryan66]

I know this may not be the right section but im hoping it'll be seen better in here. I have a 76 550k and am in need of a carb part. Rebuilt my carbs with rebuild kits. Got to number four and realized i was missing the emulsion tube think thats what its called. Its the brass tube that the needle goes into on top and the main jet sits on the other side of it.

In Honda speak it's usually called a Main Jet Holder.

The other 3 are pressed into the carbs and i just rebuilt so there all back together. Ill try and look it up on the fiche. give me a bit

Does you bike have pressed in main jets as well? If they are screwed in Honda calls them a main jet holder but they are really the emulsion tube and the needle jet usually sits on top (pressed in).

Your carbs are a little different and it sounds like they may actually be a needle jet plus emulsion tube. I'd need to see one to be sure. There's a lot of posts on the PD46 crabs on line but not a lot of useful info.

Its a pressed in main jet.

I believe its number 3 in this link. IT says needle jet set but all i need is the tube.

Thank you. This part, a battery, and airbox boots are the only thing holding me up from hitting the start button for the first time

Damn, don't have an extra. I'll check with a friend of mine. He may have one. Gotta get you on the road boy.

Man, I have a bunch of emulsion tubes, probably 10 different sizes. Do you have a caliper? If you can give me a precise measurement I'd send you the closest sizes I have. Will need to know the length and outer diameter in the middle + at it's widest point where it presses in, ID would be good too, if you have a way of getting it though not crucial. Also, can you post a picture?

 

[Ryan66]

Ill try when i get home but with the slides and needles in im not sure if i can get it out. Is there a way to search for the size some where on the net or a manual? I have a 76 550k

Ryan,
Have you checked the Sirius web site http://www.siriusconinc.com/search_result.php?make=1&model=CB550&part=1&partno=&x=52&y=15&search=search

Looks like they may have what you need.

Sirius has them for the F model. CMSNL doesnt have them. David silver has them as a needle kit for $30 plus shipping from the uk
