The fact that the L was a half grade came from the same reptat suggested d7ev to me, and that man knew how to read plugs

Delta, i disagree,
On the asvise of an ngk rep who was a well respected sidcar racer i used D7EV in my 500 that went all over the UK and to the Isle of Man regularly plus commuting 7 miles to work. Never fouled, never failed yes nearly twice the price but well worth it the =L was always sold as a "half grade" 34

Most cards for the trader the more you do the smaller the commission but the machines are damned expensive to buy

CB500/550 / Re: Oil pressure relief valve removal« on: April 18, 2024, 07:57:34 AM »
Trigger had one stuck, or wrongly assembled from new and the pressure cracked the oil filter housing so i doubt yours is stuck solid.
The bolts inside the cam cover O ring should have copper wasers under the heads and the brackets for the end caps alloy ones 44
CB500/550 / Re: Where to Start?« on: April 17, 2024, 08:53:59 PM »
The full Honda manual is there but you have to start with the 500 then all the supplements till you get to your model.
No real order for stripping but if you are going to do engine work it makes it easier and lighter to get out if you remove the head and barrels first. Get an impact screwdriver with JIS bits and a 3/8 drive socket set with both long sockets and six sided 45
Desperately Seeking!! / Re: CB500K1 1975 Neutral rotor & contacts , primary driven sprocket, main jet holder« on: April 17, 2024, 01:38:40 PM »
I ccan do you a nos rotor and the main jet leaf springs do appear on a US website when in stock but only in sets of 4, stainless and not cheap.
Can pprobably find a used spring But these and the rotors are now like hens teeth so not cheap pm me if interested. Ask nurse Julie if Trigger has any of the stator contacts left he had etched a long while ago. Do you mean the primary chain sprocket on the shaft? Never seen one worn |
