1971 Honda CB500K · Carb Rebuild & Jetting Buying guide
A rebuild kit’s contents and a pilot-jet size are different buying decisions. Use the current kit list to count parts, then compare carburetor identification and existing calibration rather than assuming every supplied jet suits a modified intake or exhaust.

The kit description identifies bowl and top gaskets, float needle and seat, jets, jet needle, O-rings and small hardware. It explicitly services one carburetor. The separately listed float is not named among those contents, so check the full kit list against the work planned before ordering.
The pilot-jet pack specifies its size and dimensions. Compare those with the installed carburetor and existing jets, particularly after modifications. This guide does not prescribe a larger size or treat a supplied jet as proof of the correct calibration for every current CB500K setup.
Each kit lists bowl and top gaskets, a 1.8 needle-and-seat, #100 jet, #40 pilot jet, D26 needle, seven O-rings plus a screw O-ring, screw with spring and C-clip. One kit services one carburetor; four cover the complete rack.
The bowl gasket and float needle-and-seat are already named in the kit. Compare its contents before ordering separate versions of those parts. A replacement float is not named in the kit and has its own listing and application.
The package contains four #40 jets, each 28 mm high with 5.5 mm outside diameter. The listing identifies #40 as stock for the 1971–73 CB500K. Compare carburetor type and existing calibration; modifications do not automatically justify that or a larger size.
