Thanks for all the info and replys..this system is using "original" advance unit, so I have set up to original "F" marks statically...she runs, but I really could do with a strobe to check correctly... I know carbs etc are set as they should, but I've a feeling she's out 'due to a slight low end rumble here and there...I will persevere......thanks again people.

So ....tectronic ignition has arrived..... do I set it on the advance, or standard 1-4/2-3 fire marks.....?.
To much counter info going around, and instructions are pretty carp English translation.

Hi....as the title states,, has anybody tried this system..?
It is from "old-honda" who's name has been mentioned on here a few times.
I am seriously contemplating this system, so any do's/don't, tips, timing set-up etc would be appreciated.
Regards,,,,andy

Drilling and tapping the holes wouldn't be a problem.. 4, 5 or even 6mm would be fine.. using a brass mig collar, at m4, m5 or m6 would work, as I've used this method before on the yamaha fzr1000 exups... the small brass ends fit perfectly in tight places.. I then use MORGAN vacuum gauges to sync. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
I will try and get a few proper pictures of her outside tomorrow and post them for you..👍

Sorry for not being more descriptive..I meant the vacuum connection points on the manifold...I could always tap my own, and fit a permanent port using a m5 mig weld end and hoses caped off....just a thought.

I honestly have no idea..I know certain things are customised etc, when building a chop, but to remove butterflies and not being able to sync it is a bit weird to me.. like I said, bench syncing isn't a problem, I just prefere to be more accurate on the carb side..

Ok people, this has been asked multiple times, and I already know the answer...anyway...
Block number is CB550E.. carbs fitted are 069A's.. sync usually carried out by attaching gauges to inlet headers, via four screws...correct so far.... soooo, where are my screws...I have been over the inlet headers with a fine tooth pick and there are none whatsoever. Going off the history and the P/O, removing the choke butterflies, I can only presume that the inlets have also been swapped...I have no idea why... so my real question is are the carbs or the inlets wrong..?
I am fully aware of how to bench sync these carbs, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to the carbs, as I like to use gauges for a visibly accurate setup.. so how much messing is it going to be buying carbs with the vacuum ports fitted, rejetting etc or easier and cheaper to buy the correct inlet manifolds and swap them out...just answered my own question really. Whoever did these carb mods was either bored, an idiot or a complete fckwit...or all 3.

TBH.. the blue looks better in real light...you can see the silver flake better. Originally bought it as a project, get it running and sell on. But as is, I keep buying new bits, gave her a respray, and keep thinking what else can I do.

No choke butterflies,,,whoever did the mod, has also altered the carbs richer, upgraded to god knows what coils, but I've never seen a spark like it....little bit of throttle, a quick backfire, then starts on the button with no throttle. Tickover set slightly higher than normal..its not perfect, but it works. I might revert her to normal carbs, but with the shotgun pipes and the open bell mouths, she runs , she revs, and sounds quite happy.
