CB500/550 / carbs or timing ?
« on: September 11, 2018, 03:40:48 PM »
Hi ,
just got my  550 back together after repairing the transmission,i set the points and timing statickly with a multi meter and got it pretty much spot on with the 2  f marks and the points gap . 14 thou ,
   it starts on the button and ticks over fine ,
   problem is , engne misfires badly over 4000 revs , just wondered what is the best order  to check things .
        bike has been chopped and is running with pods on !! [not good] though it was running a lot better  before i took engine out , though a bit rich , new plugs but same points.
cheers Paul

CB500/550 / Engine bolt
« on: August 16, 2018, 06:16:46 PM »
Hi  , just put the engine back in my 550 after doing the transmission , got all the mounting bolts in and nipped up , when i tightened the rear upper bolt ,[ m10 x 280mm long] , striped the thread !!!! didnt over tighten  it, but knew it looked a bit knackered when i took it out ,anyone know the thread pitch ? looks to be 1.00 or 1.25 .
   cant source one anywhere ! so i was thinking of buying some 10mm bar and  m10 die to make one . do you think it matters whether i make it 1.00 ,  1.25 or 1.5 pitch
cheers Paul
