CB500/550 / Running issues 500/4
« on: June 16, 2017, 10:51:28 PM »
I've not long had the bike and finally got it an Mot. The bike would not Rev passed 5k. Would alway spit and splutter. I took carbs off and the float level was at 26mm so set it to 22.
I adjusted tappets. And the. Looked at timing.
I used the light test to do the static timing. I had the light coming on smack on between the T and F marks but the bike would not start. I then opened the points up a little and the bike starts and runs smooth on tick over.
I balanced the carbs. Took it a ride and it still splutters. I don't know if it's the timing or fuel. Like I say the timing is way off the mark but only way to get it running
Any ideas or help
