Fuse box woes

Hey all

Alright, trying to make sense of my fuse box. Before taking apart the bike, it ran with this setup to no apparent problems. My fuse box looks a little battered, but it should work.

Now, from what I know, my 550F2 from 1978 should have a fuse configuration from left to right of 5A for tail, 7A for head and 15A for main.

The labeling on my fuse box says they should all have 7A though? And to complete my confusion, it ran with a setup from left to right of 20A, 10A and 10A.

I just completed the wiring and turned the bike on today. No power. Checked the fuses. The 10A in the main holder is bad. The other two are still good.

Don’t know how it could run with a 10A in the main to begin with. But it’s blown now.

Can anybody make sense of this? Or is my idea of the correct setup mistaken?

Looking at that fuse holder I would be looking for a new one if they are available as a pattern part or a used one in good condition.

Yeah, it had a bad burn. Should work though! Don’t know about that labeling though. The box seems original, and so does the labeling.

Go to Hondaman he makes a plug n play blade fuse unit

Oddjob:
IIRC you are right, 2 7a and 1 15a for the main.

I'm replacing mine with a Honda blade fuse one, my old one is in very good condition (AFAIK) if your interested. Same bike 550F2.
