650 resto last issue to resolve.
Ok gents, some may know I've been restoring my 650 which I bought new in 77. It's all finished bar 1 issue which I can't quite get my head around.

A later post on z650 forum says that all the documentation I have from 1976 had a latter correction made saying plugs should be b7es not b8es. B7es is one grade hotter.
