    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hi, on my chop 550 `85 it had no rev counter so i bought an after market one which wires to the coil.
im not sure how far to take the revs in each gear ??what would be a normal reading??
 
you mean whats the highest you can rev it up?

i switch gears between 3-5k

but it will redline around 7-8k i think.... someone on here can tell you the top rpm of your motor
 
the 550 redline is about 9500 I think If you are looking for milage shift 3-3500, Fun 6K, max fun 8-9K..
Make sure the tack is reading properly & not 1/2 speed
 
if it sounds like it going to explode and the tach shows 4,500 to 5,000 rpms, that would be a good indication of the tach registering 1/2 of the engine rpm's
if that is the case, please don't try for 6,000.

Or if you get a lot of transmission noise when you shift from neutral to 1st gear at a stop even though the tach reads 1500 rpms. :)
 
hi, took each gear to 6000 and it sounded good .so i think its working correct .. cheers ........
