Hi all - first post to the newly repaired list.
I am SOOOO stumped.
I've checked the assembly 231924938 times and I'm sure it's assembled properly.
I got this bike as a "not running" bike and had the engine running quickly. However,
the clutch was screwy. There was lots and lots and lots of play in the clutch lever
(the one on clutch case) The clutch play adjuster (small nut/bolt on side of clutch
case) was adjusted fully. Even with all the play adjusted out of the cable I could
not get the clutch to work properly.
I am starting to suspect that the rod that presses on the pressure plate is topo
short.
I think someone reassembled this bike from a hodgepodge of parts, possibly from
different 550s.
Does someone have a 74CB550K0 that has the clutch apart? Could you measure the length
of that pushrod?
If the pushrod on my bike was about 1/4 inch (maybe less) longer, it'd work, I'm sure
of it.
