You keep kicking it like that and you will be scrounging around for new cases soon. :doh: What I do is bring it to TDC, push the decomp, then kick away. I'm more worried about what happened earlier with the ignition issues..... some of the back kicks were pretty violent. If the cases crack because ...

what's your jetting like and where is your air screw I have it written down and can find it for you, but the numbers will be meaningless I think. The previous owner put a Dellorto round slide on this bike. My one WOT plug chop (that was fun! :twisted: ) was chocolate brown, so the main is a little ...

If your key isn't sheared as seems likely, I have heard of a case where a bad CDI was causing that same problem, Only have heard it once so it's not to common. Does Honda have OHM specs for the CDI?

New to me CR500 in the PNW
