    Can anyone give me some info?
    I have restored a Honda CB550 F (US import) which came to me with 550
    K carbs fitted. I am not getting full revs at present and innitially
    am wondering if these carbs can be fitted without any adverse effect,
    or must they be re jetted.

    They should bolt straight on and I can't see any probs.

    However - US bikes wre often jetted leaner than European.

    Have you done a plug chop?

    Thanks for the reply.
    The carbs fit on ok.
    I will check out the jets and try a Plug Chop as suggested.
