Jordan's 550
« on: June 22, 2021, 05:30:21 AM »
My nephew Jordan and I are building a 550 out of one of my spares.  I have several that I have collected over the years to support my racing efforts. The motor has a set of 61mm JE Hot Street pistons and 358b Webcam.  The project was started 3 years ago, but a new job and baby have slowed progress.  Here is where we are to date.





We are working on the wiring now and have several wiring clips that need to be installed on the motor.



Would anyone have a stock unmolested 550 who could share a photo or two of where these clips are mounted?

This is a pretty good resource:

I used Bootsey's technique to download & save it to a PDF.  Here it is saved out onto a shareable link on my Google Drive.  I'll leave it up there ad infinitum for anyone who wants to download it.  It's just over 40MB.
