Hi All!
I've been searching around the internet trying to find a forum dedicated to the old Honda CB's and this seems like the right match. I just recently bought a 1975 Honda CB 550 for $250. The bike turns over and sounds very smooth turning over. However, it just won't fire up! I cleaned out the tank, the carbs, and the fuel lines and replaced the spark plugs. I then took one of the wires off the plug and couldn't see a spark jumping from the wire to the plug. I'm guessing thats the problem, I don't know anything about spark plugs and was wondering if anyone had some advice.
I do have the shop manual. Also, if I want to make sure that gas is flowing into the cylinder how can I do that?
Thanks for any help!
P.S. the run switch and starter button are completely destroyed on the bike so I am making it turn over by connecting two terminals on the right side under the seat
