Had another look and definitely no peg on switchgear or hole in the bars so they do match. If my new switches have a peg I can drill the bars. Be interested to hear what others have seen on similar bikes (74 550k1 import)
Sounds a little uneven to me, I would refrain from revving it too much as well until you've done the timing with a strobe and vacced the carbs.
That must feel nice to get it running again, I'm going to feel a bit nervous starting my 550 for the first time. Are you going to be able to get out on it soon to run it in once you've sorted the timing etc? That's my concern as I've still got quite a bit to do to get mine roadworthy....I see why Ken suggests doing the engine rebuild last
Looks promising, David. I'm curious what ignition you run. Standard or EI?Do you happen to know your carb settings, like: # slow jet, # main jet, needle position and position of the airscrews? I take it the carbs have the number 022A stamped in.
