Are those spoked wheels ready yet Dave? That'sll finish your bike off very nicely!

Hi Again.
My CB550 is fitted with the standard KGK resistor plug caps but a previous owner has also fitted resistor spark plugs which I thought weren't necessary if the resistor caps were fitted.
The bike runs fine and the plugs are a loverly colour but I'm planning to replace them when I service it soon.
I can get NGK DR7Es plugs quite easily and cheaply but the D7ES's seem a little scarce so will I be OK fitting the resistor plugs again?
My gut feeling is yes but I thought I'd check with our experts.
TIA.

Hi.
I'm about to service my 550F2 and in the Haynes Manual it says that the sump plate should be removed and the oil strainer removed and cleaned.
Is this a big job? Can it be done without removing the exhaust system? Does it involve lots of swearing?
Is it worth doing?

If you shake the float you may hear the fuel sloshing about inside.
Alternatively weigh them individually and see if any are considerably heavier.

If it's pouring out of the overflows then one or more of the float valves isn't sealing for some reason.
Are the float needles and seats in good order?
Are they clean and free to move with the floats?
Are the floats OK? Not punctured and full of fuel?

Well, I've had a look in the parts manual that Dave pointed me to ages ago and there's no info about the various screws I need. All it shows is the 3 screws which secure the points plate onto the crankcase.
Any ideas?

All the crosshead screws securing the points, condensers and backplates on my 550 are butchered and difficult to remove.
Are these things still available from Honda or does anyone know somewhere that could supply some similar items which will do the job?
TIA,
Dave
