CB500/550 / Re: CB550 Oil Filter Bolt Removal
« Last post by davidcumbria on Today at 09:19:11 AM »
At the cheap end of the spectrum I got this  set for £12 and it’s worked fine the few times I’ve used it.

Looks like an opportunity. On their website they only list a system  for cb500. Presumably no good for a 550 k1 ?

Agree Bryan  mine  didn’t move so I wondered what the point of the slot is.

CB350/400 / Re: Power consumption, E-ignition vs Points. also - spare advance cam?
« Last post by Mikep328 on Today at 08:50:24 AM »
Update:  I ended up going back to the USA before continuing with this "project."  While there I came across a complete points plate/advance unit in a garage sale for 10 USD!  I checked the condensers  with a real capacitor tester (not a multimeter) and they show good as far as capacitance and voltage.  Points are original ND and look essentially unused.

Now I'm back in the UK eyeing these parts wondering whether I REALLY want to install the OEM system or just leave the perfectly functioning DSS EI in place.  Logic/common sense would dictate leaving the EI; but I have this NON-common sense urge to have the points in there...

I haven't awakened the 400 yet from it's winter slumber - been too cold/wet for me but hope to do that sometime this week.  It's probably not often that someone has a perfectly running machine and intentionally changes something that may make it less so and I can't think of any operational advantage that the points would provide!   Yes, they will provide a spark with less voltage than EI but I haven't seen any case with my 400 where low voltage is an issue.  ::)   So more thinking...

When you replace. "To stagger or not to stagger ...that is the question"

I chose to stagger mine.

George, that only works on Hyvo primaries, like the 400/500/550's. 750 chains are different, they are not Hyvo, they are a lot thinner and there are 2 of them, side by side.
Ding dong....getting ahead of myself Julie!
