Hello, I'm new to this list and just recently bought an old 1978 Honda CB550k. I got the shop manual, some tools, and some parts and will start working on it soon to customize it and learn about it and engines/bikes in general. (Fun stuff, like legos for grown ups :)
I have a mechanic friend who is going to get certified at the AMI in FL (since all his mc repair knowledge is self-taught (which is usually the best)). He's helping me with motorcycles/engines and I'm helping him with computers/electronics as an exchange of technical knowledge. He helped me get the bike; I helped upgrade his computers for his business. That's at the local bike shop here in Maryland. Now before I go working on it, I have one question: The sparkplug hole doesn't fit 14mm, nor 18mm, nor US standard sparkplug wrench and I can't get the plugs out of there (limited tools, no deep sockets that fit) so: What in the world kind of sparkplug wrench does this thing take? P.S. This is also a test to see if this message goes through since I ACK'ed myself :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ricky Cobb III | [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you immediately know the candle light is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago. --Oma Desala, SG1 --------------------------------------------------- Google Answers Researcher | http://answers.google.com/ When you're searching for information, Google Answers. --------------------------------------------------- My Personal Sites: http://geocache.port5.com/ | http://tip.ti-programmers.com/ [IM] msn [EMAIL PROTECTED] | aim arcadesdude y! arcadesdude | icq 41440378
