CB550 firing properly
The good ole CB550 is running ok now, breathing properly with it’s new carb rubber. It’s quite difficult to start the old girl though, and today I had a real panic, driving into town, she cut out totally. Pulled over started again, then few moments later total cut out.
Hmm it really helps when you actually put petrol in the tank! Although it was only showing 91 miles I had been running the bike stationary trying to diagnose the carb issues and had actually run it out of petrol ! Buffoon.
Once I’d filled up with a tank full of nice 100 RON V-power she was purring again, I even got a complement for running a great classic!
Well here’s a (rather long sorry!) video of how the old girl is running now, would be great if any motorcycle experts who happen to come across this page could leave a comment to say whether or not it sounds like it’s running well / lean / rich.
