try a new plug and carb balance---running with the bad pilot may have wrecked the plug

Tell you what, if the bores were worn and oval that motor has been abused and run with no aircleaner, I can remember a 120,000 miler where even the ring gaps were still in tolerance!!!

G5 has 'lecy start CJ is kick only, apart from that mostly same.
BEFORE you lay out on an exhaust remove the top cover and check operation of cam chain tensioner and state of camchain plus cam bearings all it will cost is time + gasket goo. Clean out centrifugal oil filter on end of crank. At one time you could get pattern silencers to fit original front pipes. Mostly same as CB360 (more common in US) and i think Dave Silver has many parts.
650 plug give me a call sometime and i will talk you through it as best i can.
Any other help ask and i will try
Regards Bryan

They are a fractionaly different size, I think the bullets are slightl bigger from memory which makes a good fit into the Honda loom connectors just crimp up the females a bit to make the original bullets fit tight----sounds a bit perverted when i re read that!
Dont forget the 2 and 3/4 way females with shrouds when you order

Get Suzuki bits from www.cmsnl.com and look up the 500 of the right year, all the same except bores. Suzuki:-Watch for siezed brakes and swing arm bushes/brearings (no greasers and kin expensive!!). Honda:-If its pre dream it has to be G5---Disc brake, strip engine in frame but problematic camchain tensioner OR K4--drum brake, engine out to do anything. I have some books for the G5 somewhere but no promises

Its not difficult if you get the complete kit with insertion tool not just the tap and coils, you will also need a drill of an "odd" but getable size. and if you are going to buy the kit i would try it in situ first, if you have to take the head off to clean it what have you lost.
Welcome to ring me any evening Sunday to Thursday after 8pm on 0XXXXXXXX3 to talk it through and ring from a landline and i will call you back

It can be done "in situ" but its at the owners risk!!!
(1) grease appropriate drill well and drill out old thread slowly so swarf gets stuck in drill
(2) Likewise with tap
(3) fit insert
(4) kick over fast, repeatedly to remove any recaltrant swarf (you hope)
Worst case scenario you have to remove head to clean out bits from under valves----only had to do this once in the 10 ish years doing the job.
Cost---- 2 inserts will cost about same as buying kit NORMALY

I agree, modern petrol, or gas as the yanks call it, does go off a lot quicker than it used to.
When new, first Hondas to need draining if stood were CX500 & CB750/900 twin cam(79+) and it was usualy anything over 8 days drain the carbs, what was in the tank stayed OK though. Never did figure out why just drained them in the workshop on pre- customer checkover

If its working I really dont think its an air problem as that would just make it spongy and not work till the last bit by the bars---not in the first 1/2 inch.
Steve could be right in is there any mechanical adjustment at the clutch end?
I Have the Honda blue book manuals for the CB650 and the CB650SC addendum but not the later one sorry
