Hi Everyone. I've just picked up a CB550F on the cheap in need of a lot of TLC. I've done a number of CB's before, but never really torn into the engine. Mostly cosmetic, carbs, tuning, etc. Compression test with no carbs installed gives me 1)118psi 2)120psi 3)0psi 4)0psi.
I know the bike will need a top end, full re wire, maybe valves? Any advice on how to determine the health of the top end other than tear into it?
Looking forward to all the great info on this site while I rebuild this one!
Also have a 1980 Ironhead as my main ride:
This is a CB750 I did in the past. Sadly sold it to get the next bike..
