New member - 1978 CB550K
« on: July 24, 2017, 05:11:21 AM »
Hi all,

New member here. I picked up a 1978 CB550K a few weeks ago and have been feverishly researching all
I can about the bike.

It has received a new choke cable (wish I had bought OEM), oil change, valve adjustment and general
tuneup.

Yesterday I noticed cylinder 4 wasn't firing.  After researching on here all the possible causes it was an easy fix.  Turns out it's usually the simplest problem - a bad spark plug.  Although I will keep an eye on the plugs for fouling.

Thanks for being here, I'll be around for a while.

Steve
