I hope this helps with getting your bikes tuned properly. If you're having issues around 1/4 to 3/4 throttle this is where I would start.

The 500 4, I had in the mid 70’s showed to have amazon power. Change the timing, change sprocket size, enlarge the bore, 4 into one exhaust ( no muffler) and two side draft Webber carburetors, ( same size I used on my Alfa). My wife would run my Alfa and my bike around 135 mph for nice ride.

Good tips. I have the same problem on my Cb550k. Wasn't sure if it was possible to adjust needles with carbs in place. Thanks. 🏍👍🇨🇦

This is super helpful!!! I’ve had my 550 running fantastic at idle and at open throttle accelerates beautifully but just on rolling on or maintenance throttle it sputters a bit. Tried everything except this. Everything except the 4-1 exhaust is stock and all specs in the carb pretty much within factory range. Will definitely give it a shot. Thank you for the great content!

DrewBloo I lowered the clip on mine which raised the needle. It helped richen the mixture. now it is so fast! No hesitation at 1/2 or 3/4 throttle. It solved my problem

Hi Noticed your not running the stock air filter. As this bike has aftermarket filters do you have to adjust the needles to run richer as the filters breath more air. If you do how much do you recommend in adjusting needle position. Buy the way great videos. Re GA arts from the UK

Tylor, my round slides have a nylon washer between the slide and the needle. Is that washer supposed to be there ?

@ClassicOctane, what was your thought process for determining that you should richen the mix on the needle? i.e. sputtering at x,xxx RPM = too lean?

Awesome content. I just rebuilt my cb500 carbs with your help. I have a question though. My air/fuel screws do not fully seat with the spring in the carb. Should I screw them in without the spring first to find where they seat and then put the spring in and go 1 1/2 turns out from where they bottomed out without the spring? The spring seems to be binding up the screw before it seats. Thanks!

Do what you suggest but count the screws in from ‘clicked’ fully out

Thanks for the very nice videos! I guess that you don't need to synchronise the carbs after this operation, right?
@ClassicOctane
@ClassicOctane 3 жыл бұрын
That is correct, you don't have to sync them again because you don't remove the adjusting screw.

get a brand new wiring harness from 4into1.com. You can also get a lot of OEM or OEM replacement electronics there. Or just go with aftermarket stuff
