1973 Honda CB500K Fuel, Carburetor & Intake Repair Plan
Fuel-system work on your 1973 Honda CB500K can start at the tank, carburetor internals or intake. Identify the affected section before buying service parts. A carburetor kit covers one carb, the original airbox filter serves the bike, and a fuel cap has separate supporting pieces.

Build the order around the tank, carburetors or air intake
A one-carb rebuild kit and a four-holder intake set use different package counts. The stock-type filter references the original CB500K airbox, while the chrome cap includes its gasket and hinge hardware. Compare the existing assemblies before selecting a combination of parts.
Separate kit quantity from intake package quantity
The carb kit is explicitly for one carburetor, so four are needed for a complete rack rebuild. Its named internal contents should not be read as a set of intake holders or airbox boots. Those rubber products each have their own four-piece listings and clamp requirements.
Confirm the retained fuel and intake assemblies
A stock airbox filter depends on the original airbox being present. Likewise, cap and petcock service pieces depend on the fitted tank hardware. Identify modifications and compare component references before treating a listed model application as proof that an altered assembly uses the same replacement parts.
Common questions
Which internal carb parts are included, and which float parts are separate?
The one-carb kit includes bowl and top gaskets, needle-and-seat, jets, D26 needle, O-rings, screw with spring and C-clip. A float is not named in its contents. Compare that list before adding separate valves or gaskets; four kits rebuild the complete rack.
What original intake equipment must match the stock-filter order?
The element references Honda 17210-323-030 for the original 1971–73 CB500K airbox. One is supplied and one services that airbox. Confirm the retained intake before applying the specification; a pod or replacement-airbox conversion needs its own fitment comparison.
Which fuel-cap service parts should I avoid ordering twice?
The chrome cap already includes its gasket, hinge pin and E-clip under 17510-323-310. The latch is separately offered with its own return spring, pin and C-clip. Check the retained cap and latch before also adding separate seal or hinge-related purchases.
