that I've been in touch with and can get one off of her this week!

So what do you need? An extra CDI box to test it? Pretty sure I have one you
could try. If it works, pay me a reasonable amount for it. If not, send it
back.

Am unable to switch em because it's one cdi box with two entry points both
with for prongs but one housing has room for six I tried jamming the one
with four into the one with six and got nothing.

The next thing you have to do is swap the two CDI boxes and see if this
flips the problem to the opposite cylinders. I've never owned a 550
Nighthawk but I had several 1984 V30 Magnas, and I had to get new CDI boxes
for one of them. These play the role of the distributors of old. They are
I replaced them all just as you showed In your write up, then I switched
the coils and was still getting spark to one and four so the coils are
good. Still no spark to two and three. Was posting on this other forum and
found out that it wasn't for the nighthawk it was just for the cb650. Ran

I'm not sure what wires you used, but I did a write-up when I made mine a
couple years ago: http://nighthawk.kylemunz.com/?p=633
That said, you can swap the wire from a working plug temporarily to see if
that's the issue before buying/making new ones.

Pulled em, switched em, and still no spark. Spark in one and four still. So
imma guess it's the wrong wires. So confused maybe I read it on a different
forum about a different bike.

EGrider is right, parts lookup is the way to go to see what's
interchangeable. But I can tell you from personal experience that the coils
for the 83-85 CB650 and 84-86 CB700 are interchangeable left and right and
between bikes. You do have to remove them from their cradle though.
-Kyle
On Tue,
When I have that kind of question I usually go to Partzilla, Bike Bandit,
or any supplier that has schematic drawings and look to see if the left and
right have the same part number. If they do, you know know they are
interchangeable.

I tested from the coil, then through the cable off the coil, then from the
cap connected too the cable, and all seems to be getting voltage but I
don't really know how to use a multi meter very well. Are the coils able to
be switched around? If so I'll try just switching em and see.
Thanks
On Mar
You say you're getting voltage, but you don't say where you tested. If you
tested before the coil, swap your coils and see if the problem changes to
the two outside ones. Aren't the coils 1-4 and 2-3? That would explain it.

This is something people do after they have had a bad experience with
stripping out spark plug threads (in aluminium heads).
I have not heard of this happening in motorcycle heads though.
I'm not sure you need it. But putting them in dry is probably the opposite.
if you have any dirt, had them
I'm pretty sure my Honda car uses an 18mm plug so you can get a proper plug
socket in that size, one with the rubber ring to hold it in the socket for
removal/installation.

Rounded. Point being I don't mix my metrics and standards, that's usually
just a recipe for failure.

True as a rule, I'm sure, but not universally so. I've been using a 15/16
on my back axle for years for tire changes and chain adjustments with no
adverse effects.

A rounded bolt on your rear axle would be easier to deal with than a

If you're talking about NGK DPR8EA-9 plugs or equivalent that's 18mm, I
believe.

I just went to check, but don't have an easily accessible 18mm wrench. 19mm or
3/4" may work, but slightly big. So 18mm is probably right. Honda spark lug
wrench from kit is a sure bet!

On units with points yes, I wouldn't chance it with the CDI ignition
system. If you were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no other
options you might get away with it but I would find the right plugs.
I know both autozone and advance carry the correct plugs for my 450
but I can't remember the

Who'da thunk they'd be that rare?

No problem for the oil in the cylinders. Once, as a student, I had an old
Citroen 2CV (mythic car with a 625 cm3 engine). I worked with a girl and
took her home in the car. I ran out of gas. Yes, really, don't smile...
I said dont worry, I have a spare gas can in the trunk, and took the 2 l
That sounds like when my dad put the new engine in our boat when I was a
kid. I say new, but it was a rebuild, anyhow a tablespoon of oil was put in
each cylinder during the rebuild. When they finally cranked it up so much
smoke billowed out I thought Mötley Crüe was in there. The oil will keep
You will need a deep socket for those plugs..I had to go buy one myself.
