CB500/550 / Cb550, cam chain adjuster bolt head fix
« on: November 20, 2015, 02:07:50 PM »
Greetings!
Engine rattled on startup and bolt broke upon adjustment. If anyone has a good advice or fix without taking the top off again it would very highly be appreciated. Thank you

Hey people, greetings called from fresh forum member

Many thanks for all the exciting readings, that helped make me go for it. Hereafter; my first machine on two wheels bigger than 50cc:
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I´m turning to this incredible forum for some help on the diagnostics side, because i´m pretty fresh on SOHCs.

Has:
- paint job
- custom grips, taillight, speedo from wrenchmonkey
- Marshall Deeptone exhaust
- cheap podfilters, which it got without being carbsynced and hasn't been running much since
- tendency to overheat
- strange sounds (will post video) :-\
- some oil leaks
- a good life coming

Needs, in suggestive order project starts at:
- gas tank clean
- inline gas filter
- timing
- valve adjust
- carb clean/rebuild
- carb sync
- possible cosmetics at some point

I´ll keep you posted along the way incase there are interventions or a good tip you want to share.
First of, later tonight, will be a video of the machine running. If you have any thoughts, feel free to share!

Cheers, good folk
