The engine currently sitting on the floor of my dirty garage.

Ya but that's good dirt.

Progress dirt.

I am currently waiting for the DMV to send me paperwork to allow me to swap the title from the engine to the frame. This weekend I should have a runner.

I guess Wisconsin also titles the engine -- as here in Cal. It makes engine swapping a PITA.

wow, what a PITA! Washington doesn't do that I guess we are lucky. Legal weed and no engine serial number records!

And gorgeous mountain/countryside riding, when it's not raining!

HMM legal weed!!>

Do you need a medical card to purchase this mysterious "legal weed"?

No worries as I wil swap out to tapered bearings in the neck. I think I will hold off on the fork seals as these do not leak and I want to use gold valve emulators?

I think that's what they are called.

I think it's just plain legal in Washington, but regulated insomuch as it affects your motor skills. You can still get a DUI/DWI.

Hey Nick,

I hate the two steps forward, one step back. How many times have I been there?

How's the search for a replacement frame going?

I can see you are using the time productively on the forks. The 77-78 forks are easier to source a fork brace -- the legs are slightly longer than the earlier models (which are a PITA to fit BOTH the fork brace and fender).

That looks fantastic. Love the paint color.

That's lookin' good

The engine is out of the 550F. Tires are at the shop getting mounted. Hopefully I can attempt to get a roller done today. All balls bearings in the neck and the bearings for the wheels will be done hopefully today to accomplish a roller.

Tews19 · « **Reply #487 on:** September 25, 2014, 08:21:20 PM »

Got more then a roller. Pretty much all complete for the time being. I can't figure out why the electric starter isn't working. Maybe I pulled a wire out from inside the control. Member Hellraiser (eric) came by and helped me put her back on two wheels.

Member Cal patiently talked me through checking each wire... sigh nothing!

Good news is I attempted to start it by jumping the solenoid and she turns over!

If you look closely you can see MRiecks great head work!

Hopefully tomorrow I can hear her come to life then it's onto coating the tank!

Good progress! Did you check the yellow w/red wire in the bucket?

Tews19 · « **Reply #489 on:** September 25, 2014, 08:27:50 PM »

It's the F model. That wires are under the coils. It's helps keep the birds nest at a minimum having those wires down there.

Oh, yeah, the effin F.

We have a runner! I won't share the gory details of what I had to do to get it running but she runs. Only on 2 and 3 though. Even swapped out to the dyna coils and still only 2 and 3 fire. I will go through all the wiring tonight after fish fry.

try swapping the yellow and blue wires

That would be the case if he had fire, but the timing were off. His issue is one coil is not firing. That is more likely a case of his ignition (Dyna S) is improperly wired to the coils.

Looking awesome

goldarrow · « **Reply #496 on:** September 26, 2014, 06:30:44 PM »

I had a dyna s unit that was bad on 2-3 after bike warmed up

Tews19 · « **Reply #497 on:** September 26, 2014, 08:30:46 PM »

Cal has been real kind and walking me through the process of elimination but my phone was dying and I had to stop. Plus I'm pretty sure my inability to understand electrical doesn't really help. There is no spark from 1 and 4. I think I may attempt to set up the Prestolite ignition. I swapped the blue and yellow from the ignition To the main harness and got the back fire.

I will get this resolved but calling it a night.

Tews19 · « **Reply #498 on:** September 27, 2014, 02:51:06 PM »

2 steps forward 1 step back, that's my moto! I swapped the electronic ignitions and the bike roared to life! I noticed the same noise in her that I heard in the green 550 I had not to long ago. Drained the oil, pulled the pan and being the idiot I am I assembled the kick starter wrong.

Now I will pull the clutch and attempt to remove the kick starter and reassemble with the engine in the frame.....

BTW! Holy #$%* this exhaust is loud as hell!

This build is a roller coaster ride!
