Doms CB550F1 project
DomP:
Yep carbs are refurbed and synced as close as I could get them. I think I've been using the wrong mark🤭, it's easy to be set to the very far right mark with the advance at full where as I'd been setting it to the F.
DomP:
All sorted, still sounds like a bag of nails though and stinking rich😬 I get the feeling it's going to,need open heart surgery.
Trigger:
glad you got that one sorted.
You will find you need to strip the whole engine down and be prepared for some surprises ;)
Nurse Julie:
Are you turning the air / fuel mix screw the right way?. Out for more air = leaner, in for more fuel = richer.
DomP:
I've taken a video of it running, not sure it will upload on here but it doesn't sound smooth at all, my xs650 sounds smoother! When I drop the revs to around 1100 it starts to sound a bit clanky. I very much doubt that the previous owner had it running and went round the block like he claimed when he last used it, more like he stopped running it due to what I'm hearing.
