I´m still waiting for an original 500 airbox to face that problem and wonder wether it will be easier or even worse with 28 carbs and 501 barrels. The cilinders are about 5 mm lower but the carbs bigger :roll: I would like to use the original airbox in the 500 Frankenstein. If this is a pain, will m...

I can confirm whar George said.The washer is not needed with sealed bearings.

350 and 500/501 crankshaft right side: 30-40-7 Camshaft right side: 15-24-7 gear changing: 14-22-4 (or 5) sprocket: 20-30-7 Have a look behind the alternator wether the three allen screws that hold the bearing carrier for the right hand crankshaft are loose. If so, this will be considerable oil-leak...

All these things depend on the year of production and if you have in mind to have a 100% original one (quite rare after all these years!). A foto and frame number would help a lot for orientation

If I want to be sure that my 501 starts first kick (or second): the two chokes open, one slow kick without ignition, then looking for compresion, ignition on and a firm kick. Then immediatley one choke off, the second after about 2-500m. Starting a 501 by kicking is nearly impossible without looking...

Do you have 12 V on the brown cable entering the regulator with ignition on? If not the regulator won´t work.

Yes, they do.

The Strada pistons have a distance of 6 mm from the lowest to the highest points of the upper "heron surface" . This distance is 7 mm with the Sport pistons, what makes more compresion. The pistons for the nicasil cilinders also have these 7 mm (perhaps a bit more?) like the sport ones. fr...

Green and white wire should be longer because they go to the central electic port. The yellow ones have a shorter way to de regulator. I still can´t find a reason why one of the yellow ones is marked.

I don´t see any reason for the 1 ferrule on one of the yellow wires, there should be none.
No idea of the part number.

So it will be a "bodyless" stator, with the wire wound directly on the steel-plate-paket. It´s the strongest one with about 200W körperlose Lima.JPG Cannot find a better foto. This one is quite uggly. Only the ignition coil has a plastic body (this one burnt) So probably you also have one ...

A late Excalibur stator should be a Kokussan one.

When one cilinder is off, you can see with a dentists mirror the stamp on the cam . If there is none it´s a strada one.

As far as I know tere are two diferent casing for Street- and Enduromodels. And of course the casings for the Kokussan alternator

Hi Tom,

I would take the sport seat.
