Points open bang on the firing marks for 1 4 and 2 3 , i have put new exhaust gaskets on , dont seem to be blowing , though there is a bit of back firing over 3500 revs , the carb rubbers are all tightly fastened and seem in good nick , its running a bit rich though [i think] , the plugs are always sooty when i take them out.
I was thinking of checking timing with a strobe light , but dont really know what the readings should be , mixture screw ?
or maybe change the main jet size ?

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

just a quick update , got everything back together , no oil leaks , spent 2 days on timing /points !!!! looked thru old threads on timing . very helpful , anyway bike started 1st kick so it cant be far out , runs nice ,and the gears are spot on ! only done about a mile though , still lots to do

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

yea evrything was located fine
Found the problem! split cases again, gears spun ok , put some weight ,pressing down on needle bearing end of input shaft [clutch]and it went tight ! thought it was faulty needle bearing but it looked ok .
i put the same needle bearing on my original input shaft [which was un damaged]all is fine ! put the cases back and everything spins freely !! maybe the shaft on the new transmission i got of ebay is slightly bent , not sure

yea everything spun freely when cases were apart , all gears selected [ still do ] its just since i joined cases and put primary shaft in !! taking it apart again tomorrow !

Got the cases back together ! i fit all the changing mechanism and the gear pedal.
all the gears select fine . i,v just one small concern , maybe i,m being paranoid !
when selecting gears i was rotating input shaft {clutch not fitted yet] c/clockwise to help selection , needed a bit of effort , smooth but had to grip the shaft in palm of hand to turn it ! anyone know if this is normal . i could spin both shafts very ealily with fingers when cases were split .cheers
