Really, The Big Bang Theory.

Just seen this Jayne.

Been lucky, I have had a false neutrals between 5th and top overtaking and banging it back in give a tank slapper.

Like stretch and YC said see what happens as it could be the electrics, but my money is on bent valves and fubared pistons

In answer to your check list.

1, Barely
2, can't tell, engine wont will only turn small mount
3, yes
My replacement engine should be here by the weekend, which is handy because I have a mate coming down for the weekend and I might just get him to help lift it. JUst how much is a 550 lump going to weigh?

Probably about as much as an SV engine
Rough guess 50kg. A good lift for one person.

How do you know it has spark if it won't turn over?

Any news on what went pop?

Sadly still not had time to even look at the bike yet, working harder than ever in my part time job and expect to clock up sixty hours this week. Hope to get a look at it soon because I want to know what went bang too. On Nights for most of this week, which is not great fun when compared to opening up broken motorbike engines. I am sure that once Carol and I can get in there, she will quickly be able to tell me what I broke and how badly.

I will keep you posted and hopefully this weekend could see some progress. Cheers,

Jayne and Carol
