Doms CB550F1 project
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If you split the casing you're looking at a potential budget of £1k plus a tad more if you need some gearbox bearings as well. These old bikes are like black holes with costs.
Trigger:
Check for bent valves and cracked valve guides ;) And they are not cheap if you can get them .
DomP:
I'm prepared for it to be expensive, that's not really an issue as I'm in no rush and will be doing the work myself as far as I can. Having turned the air mixture screw out to factory setting again I began syncing the carbs with some cheap ebay vac gauges and got it running a whole lot better and quieter. Family life then intervened so I still need to finish tweaking but I think I'm getting somewhere. Bit of a weep coming from the head gasket though!
DomP:
I've bitten the bullet and bought a Morgan Carbtune so I'll get the carbs balanced on the weekend. Is there a recommended setting for the throttle stops?
Oddjob:
Depends what you mean by throttle stops
