CB500/550 / cb500 dead short
« on: May 10, 2023, 03:11:55 PM »
Hi All
I have a problem with my 72 500/4.Went out on it last year and everything perfect.
This year turn on ignition and dead short somewhere, frustrating nightmare.
Gradually disconnected areas of wiring, handlebar switches, rear light, horn regulator, etc and finally every connector in the headlight.
Thought it could be solenoid so replaced that, bypassed ignition switch , still doing it . any thoughts pleeeeeeeese!

CB500/550 / Silvers electronic ignition
« on: July 03, 2020, 06:20:53 PM »
Finally got the 500 pretty much finished.
I bought Silvers electronic ignition as  had a lot of good reports.
The instructions are not brilliant but following as well as I can  I can't get it to do what it is supposed to do .
Am I correct the light should NOTbe on when you line up the 1/4 timing market should only come on when you rotate the back plate anti clockwise????
Mine is on and doesen't go off unless you turn the crank

CB500/550 / 500 no 2 exhaust pipe
« on: June 29, 2020, 08:06:22 AM »
Bit of a long shot I know.
Virtually finished the rebuild and hadn't realised the no 2 exhaust is shot ,
other 3 are new replacements I think and are totally solid ..
I don't suppose anyone out there has a pretty good one for sale pleeeeese.
Repro set ,double skin header in Italy for sale, anyone had experience of these?
Thanks Richard

Got to wonder how they make this stuff for the price and open to offers and free postage .
I know it is bugger all like it should be  but still a lot of work gone into it.
. I like the photos taken on brown "genuine Honda Part" paper .

« on: May 21, 2019, 06:26:16 PM »
Hi All
Finally totally finished the 175 with loads of NOS parts including Carbs.
Problem, is starts and runs nicely on tick over on choke ,turn off choke
and the engine splutters and pops and dies when throttle is opened HELP!!!
checked all jets ,fuel supply and played with carb settings all to no avail.
Met Kettle (Mick on here at a jumble on Sunday and he suggested adv and ret, checked and seems ok)
I'm stuck
