my 550F2 is an american import so i don't have any paperwork for it or anything yet, its missing the side panels and while the tank is a matte blue colour at the moment it appears to be an orangey red underneath the blue (could be primer i guess)
but is there anything on the bike i can use to check what colour its supposed to be?

I think I need to find a new plug to go into the ignition on mine. Is there a source I can use or is it just a case of trial and error with some generics?

The two outer carbs on my bike are needing to be replaced, My set are 069a, mick has a set of carbs 22 but only 1-3, is it possible to swap components across from mine and a rebuild to make 1 and 3 work? Or is it not compatible

How hard is it to get replacement plugs and things?

so I think ideally I need to replace the two outer carbs. The right side is destroyed and the left is just bent enough I think it’ll struggle to seal

Ah, one of the carbs is totally ruined. Does anyone have a right hand side outer carb? [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Mick awesome news I’ll send you a private message.
Yeah it’s a bugfer about the carbs, they aren’t badly bent so I suspect it will seal as is id just prefer them to be round if I can sort it

so the list of what i can see if missing is
clutch lever
ignition barrel (already ordered one)
starter push button
Tacho
brake master reservoir cap
right foot pegs (already got a replacement front, didn't realise the rear was missing as well)
rear indicators (i have the rear indicators from my old Brazilian CG125 that look like they might match so need to check that)
air box lid
whatever connects the airbox to the carbs
side panels.
4 million other little bits i haven't noticed yet.
step one is going to be ultrasonic bath for the carbs and linkage i think

Yeah the rear brake lever is an odd one its really bent but seems to work, sadly the missing bits are the first annoyance. little things that really annoy me like the starter push button has been removed? is that even something that i can replace? the wires are all still there just going to nothing.
the biggest annoyance is that whoever robbed the rubbers connecting the carbs and the plastic airbox have obviously levered them off both sides and slightly bent the carb mouth on both sides. i am going to have to try and sort that out once the weather isn't quite as cold.
Steve i tried and it really doesn't seem possible without just deleting and redoing the posts.
