Title: Ignition System screws
Post by: Dave M on December 16, 2007, 06:27:17 PM

All the crosshead screws securing the points, condensers and backplates on my 550 are butchered and difficult to remove.

Are these things still available from Honda or does anyone know somewhere that could supply some similar items which will do the job?

TIA,

Dave

Well, I've had a look in the parts manual that Dave pointed me to ages ago and there's no info about the various screws I need. All it shows is the 3 screws which secure the points plate onto the crankcase.

Any ideas?
