Hey everyone, this is the very first project I've taken on and I am hitting some roadblocks! It is a
1976 Honda CB550K, and I Tried starting it today after it had sat over winter, and I wasn't getting anything. After messing with the idle screw and giving it some gas it finally started sputtering and would struggle to stay on. It had been running better before winter, but not perfect; it would die after about 10 min of running or after getting warmed up. I am not sure if this a carb issue or fuel issue, it almost seems like it could be both. I will go over everything I have replaced on the bike just for clarification. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
.New coils/plug wires/spark plugs that all are getting spark, along with dynatek electronic ignition
.4into1 delkevic exhaust
.cleaned carbs and replaced gaskets, 110 main jets, uni pod filters
.litium Ion battery with new rectifier/regulator
.switched to blade style fuses.new starter solenoid, wiring harness
.I have adjusted valves, ignition timing, cam chain tensioner
I plan to take the petcock our of the gas tank and cleaning it, as well as take the carbs back off and replacing the intake boots because they are cracking, along with checking the floats and what not. The plan today was to set up my carb synchronizer but I couldn't get it running long enough to check them, and that's where I am at so far!
