Topic: cb550 still fouling plugs

[mrfish2]

Hey Whiteorbs, I finally got the time to tinker with mine today. I got brand new float valves/float needles that ended up being Keyster brand, and after installing those in the bike and re-setting the fuel level the bike idles almost perfectly (still dealing with running pretty rich). I discovered I hadn't replaced two of the original float valves (for whatever reason, I'll never know), but maybe you could try replacing yours and see what happens?

I sold mine to Scott S. That fixed it :-)
Now back on my other cb750 and my rd400 project.

Well, we'll see....

 I haven't done much other than order parts and do a little cleaning. I'm leaning towards an ignition issue. I'll go over the whole tune-up deal eventually and swap in a Pamco, new plugs, caps, etc., and Ohm out the coils. I'll report back if and when I find anything. Might be a while, though. I have three ongoing projects and work on whichever one seems most promising that particular day!
