I'm looking for the actual kick starter. I have a spring, I need the, umm, the part you actually kick to start the engine? Does that make sense? Tim, where...
I am in western Washington near Seattle. Â Go to one of the micro fische web sites and tell me which pieces you need by their part numbers. Try here: ...
Tim, Got another race on that new brake yet? JohnnyB ... as I do with all the other ballast the future race bikes come equipped with. But I probably have at...
Back working on my CD175 and CA95 after a bout with Lyme diease (not recommeded) no more yard work for me. New questions: 1.) Anybody have any or a source for...
I am new to the list and was wondering were to find some items for my Honda CB 160 such as: 1. Rear shocks. Mine are shot. 2. Engine seals - The two large ones...
MT, Stock CB/CD/CL175 headgasket thickness is .052". Think real hard before you reduce the thickness on a stock engine. Any gain you make in compression ( hp )...
After 900 miles or so on my cb175 and countless adjustments it still seems to have a couple of issues I'd think. Will pull just fine through 3rd to 10k rpm,...
Ben Sounds as if you are running dry on your run. Raise the float up a bit try #95 jets, Needles on bottom rung. try 87 or mid octane for a hotter burn The 93...
 No its on the points side. Didn't think of that but will check to see if the seal back there is leaking. I didn't replace the ones for the cam so that...
I may be WAY off base here, but your problem sounds more significant than carburetion. My 175's tend to run awesome regardless of where the air screws are or...
If the valves were off I'm assuming I wouldn't have 140ish compression. No more weird noises than my nighthawk has and rides just fine through most gears. ...
Check the ignition over pretty good. A tired coil or condensor can show up at the higher cylinder pressures encountered at high loads as seen in the higher...
Finally started working on my 1969 Honda CD175 sloper again. the short story is I did the top end and it still has low compression. It has 80 psig in each...
Double check the rings/cylinders. One of the guys out here chased oil burning with a fresh motor for a <long> time. It ended up being cylinders that were not...
When you say you did the top end, I'm assuming that means they were bored, honed and oversize piston and rings were installed? If not, then my guess that is...
Well I've played with the timing with no results so I guess its time to replace the coil (which tests fine when cold). Any ideas on a cheap replacement. I...
Found the time to take it out on the highway tonight with the other coil. Trip starts fine as always. Goes nicely up to around 60-65 then slowly starts...
Have any changes been made to the carbs that you know of? Silly question but....you aren't leaving the choke on are you? Sounds like it might be running rich,...
None, never have to choke it a bit even when cold. Took the engine apart today to check the cam chain. It looked like it was a 1/2 tooth advanced but once...
Well I don't know what to say. I'm still stumped. Didn't change the cam chain. Put a new head gasket in, reassembled her and she runs much better at high...
Well...probably just "one of those things" :) JohnnyB ... the ... a ... cold ... are ... engine ... (had ... right ... worse...which ... 65 ... with ... early ...
... It's just keeping you out of trouble right? Think of all the mayhem you could be causing - staying out 'til all hours, coming home smelling of the local...
I don't know if she'll see it that way. Plan is to "restore" it. Will probably go a little more agressive with this one (i.e., rear sets, lightweight cafe...
Got it up to a nice 85-90mph. Cruised very nice at 65-70mph then my one piston decided to allow a dime sized hole to burn through. Anybody have a standard...
... Anybody ... about.... I assume you want one for a vertical rather than a sloper engine..... Will cost you only the postage .... You may contact me directly...
I've had a few Hondas, but I'm wondering if the petcock is right on this CB200T (don't have the owners manual and the shop manual says only that the petcock...
Hey All, After quite a bit of work, I'm finally ready to get back on the road with my CB175, except for one issue. The issue that's holding me back is the...
