Hold on. I would not just press the button. Try kicking it until the oil light goes out. Remove the out side tappet covers to make sure that the oil is getting to the top end. Thinking about it have you checked the tappets?

Haven't even a clue what a tappet is....    Here comes another google search...

Feeler gauges now ordered on ebay, tappet adjustment will be checked before kickover.

New question - will a cb750 points cover fit my 550 f2?

Nope. A 400/4 will but not CB750.

[JustcallmeMrT]

Nuts.  Know anyone who makes one for the 550?  Mine is pretty pitted.

Not with SOHC on it. Only Honda on it.

I have a smoked plastic one for sale. The cafe boys use them, so at night time it shows off the sparks from the points .
