CB550F ELECTRONIC IGNITION

<< < (5/5)

SPR:
I tried when I first got mine after you suggested it Ken - and failed miserably

Oddjob:
Those are standard brackets with standard coils, if I can do it so can you. I think it's the positioning of the brackets that is critical..

I'll try again tomorrow

Oddjob:
If you get them to fit but find that say the lead from 4 is needed to go to number 1 cylinder and that bugs you then you can swap over the coil lead markers, they just slide off the leads. I didn't do that as I wasn't ware they were removeable, I thought it was some sort of stamping.

As you can see in the pic, I found that a long 90 degree NGK plug cap was perfect for the outside cylinders, the inner ones used a long straight cap. I'll be seeing if I can change them to the same as the outer cylinders when I rebuild my current bike.
