Electronic iginition 77 CB550 Help
« on: January 22, 2022, 09:33:18 AM »
Installed ignition and new coils, timed with a timing light, spot on.
She starts easy, idles great, low power when riding.
Swapped the points out to hard starts, looked to have needed new points and condensers, decided to try the EI. Any ideas on what to check ?
