I'm having some difficulties adjusting the timing on my cb550f. I just put in pods, new pipes, made an elec. box, upped the main jets, and put in new NGKs, and after adjusting the best I could, I'm getting low power on the low end. I'm a mess with timing, so adjusting that is my main issue. If this is typical after doing all the stuff I just did, let me know, please save me time and money spent on adjusting or switching to Dynas. Or if you could just gimme some help, a link maybe to a guide on timing.

Crap low-end.

The thing about it is that it runs better now that I put all that stuff on and switched the plugs. No sputtering, no popping, just lags from a stop. Top end pulls like an ox, but it's like someone switched my sprocket and I lost all torque. Just thought it might have been a timing issue since it's pulling more air and it might throw off compression.
crazypj said:Its probably way too rich at low rpm.
Fitting pods only leans out top end, the restriction from stock air filter is minimal at idle/low rpm.
You will probably need to adjust float level 1mm higher than stock and drop needles thn fit 115~120 main jets.

That worked. It's pulling like a drag racer now. Though I need to go in and move it back down .5mm. It started sputtering and created some carb blowback. Appreciate the help.
