I have the same one as you (that's how I came across the site: it's a 1978 CB550K). Unfortunately, she spent about 4 hours completely immersed in water (thankfully, not salt) after a flood. She fired up fine the next day, and would have even started off the battery (no idea why that was still working) if I hadn't run it down before thinking to clean the points. That also explains why I'm searching for maintenance pages for my machine. Right, I sort of skipped a step. "She fired up fine the next day, after I had completely disassembled every part I could managed to pry off in freezing (literally) weather under a streetlight at 22:00 the night before, changed the oil twice, pulled the spark plugs, saturated the cylinders (through the plug holes) with WD-40 and cranked the engine multiple times, rinsed the fuel tank a few times, run about a cup of petrol through each of the needle valves since there was no way I could get the carbs out, etc." I pay around $80/year for my bike, but I’m in NY.
