Strange fault
SteveD CB500K0:
Back in the 70's we had an ingenious solution for this (well, we were all electronics students...):
* Remove coils (incl HT leads!) and place in nice warm airing cupboard for a few days
* Rough up area around the HT/coil join with sharp screwdriver - makes purchase for...
* Apply RTV (Room Temp Vulcanising) rubber compound to seal join
Worked (most of the time - just make sure you don't leave any gaps)
A saw a CBX1000 with a plastic carrier bag wrapped around the coils once - it was melted!

Ah, an irsh friend of mine played with the original manual in Adobe and linked all the pages of the 500 manual to the contents page BUT NOT the supplemnts---you have to search those for yourself mate, try page 169 onwards for the K3 supplement---my fault should have told you! They say float height is 14.5mm by the way
