CB550F Timing Mark/Window
« on: January 18, 2011, 06:24:35 PM »
Holy crap! I can't figure out what "T" is for setting the valve timing on my 76 Honda CB550F.

Can someone post a pic with a giant ARROW on it?  :(

Cannot post a photo now but look through the circle on the points plate and you will see a T and an F mark (along with the advance lines) for each set of cylinders. Use an LED light if visibility is low...Larry

Gotcha.  Thru the points plate.  Seems pretty obvious.. if you have your points plate attached!!!!!

Took forever for me to get the T alignment.  How frustrating!

Thanks for the help!!
