FranknStein Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 1978 CB550K. Great project opportunity I thought I would mention. Clean title and lots of potential. jmwildi was set to purchase until an unforseen expense arose, so I thought I would put it out there and see if anyone was interested.

max power Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Do it run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranknStein Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 It runs a idle and all the eletrical works, but the spark seems to drown with throttle, I'm currently having the carbs detail cleaned and will see if that fixes the issue, also maybe suspect the problem could be that a piston ring became unseated.

FranknStein Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Well, the problem I have is I don't have the carbs back from detailing and if they fix the problem and all of a sudden she moves like a raped ape I will have cut my own throat. But I appreciate the offer and will keep you informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranknStein Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Actually I'm rather new to the CB classic series. There are some pics posted on page 1 which would give you a cosmetic view, and as far as specs. I just go do a quick search online. My classic experience has mainly revolved around the other three Jap. companies. But the CB was king for a long time and with good reason.

FranknStein Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'd be happy for you to free up the space. I get the carbs back tonight and will see what is what. If she's a runner, however the price may be slightly elevated from your offers yesterday. If things remain the same, for a mere $400 dollars you can own a classic bike with a clean title, big potential, and super clean carbs.
