First of all I would ike to say hello to the forum, have been lurking for a while before I start posting.
I picked up this honda cb550 F 1976 a couple of weeks ago. First of all I want to make a totally functional motor.
I think it runs not too bad, bad I can hear the cam chain. It is my first motorbike, so I am a complete rookie. Also the electricity is not completely right, because my left signal turns arent't working and my right signal turns only work when I hit the horn.
My first adjustment were the valves, which wasn't t easy because the valve screws were #$%*ed, so ordered a new one. Finally got the #$%*ers out.
Then I decided to do the cam chain adjustment, shouldn't have done that. BEcause automatical adjustment didn't work. Now comes a question:
I followed the hymer manual, that told to screw out the adjustment screw of the cam chain. I did that, but then it didn't adjust itself, I hope I didn't do anything wrong, because I turned maybe 4 times 360degrees out. Please let me know, if I can start the bike, or reassemble the motor.
1. What's the best thing to do, I read you can only adjust the srew 180 degrees afterwards?
After that I just started to check the electrics, I found a couple of lose wires next to the coil. The blue white, the orange white, the green and the brown white.
In the headlamp I found another 4 lose wires, the orange white, the gray, the brown blue and the blue one.
2. ANy suggestions here, on what to do with them?
