I don't know if this is the answer to your woes, but on my 550, someone had changed timing plates to one from a 750. I couldn't get it timed right for the life of me. Had the same symptoms as you, could get 1/4 but not 2/3.I ground out the slots with a dremel and still needed more. Finally broke down and bought the correct one new from Honda (but not a Honda part, he looked it up in PartsUnlimited and it was cheaper.) Put on the correct one and timed it perfectly with in about 2 minutes. The 750 also had a shorter wiring pigtail by about 12 inches. Double check that on the plate it had the correct number for a 750. Good luck, Don't give up just yet. Chris in SC > Subject: timing and the horse it road in on.
