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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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. ...
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...
 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...
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...
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,...
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 )...
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...
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...
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...
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: ...
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...
What part of the kick start do you need? I throw most of them away, as I do with all the other ballast the future race bikes come equipped with. But I probably...
Beth, Standard gearing for NHMS is 15/38....maybe 15/39 with a 200 lb rider and a stock bike, possible you could run 15/37 at your low weight. Stock bike in...
Just got a B bike CB175 going well enough to race. Purchased it yesterday; all wired, tuned up; stripped down. I am new to high revving bikes. This one has a...
I have a great little Honda CB175 for sale. It is a 1973. It is in great shape. I have been riding it and working on it for 2 years. It only has 6000...
... That is what I do - I use carburetor springs in place of the valve springs, assemble everything, set the lash and cam timing, then manually push the valve...
Michael, I've got a friend on this group ( BFD ) who turned me on to checking valve to piston by using a dial indicator and assembly with very weak valve...
It's not necessarily clear from that statement that I mean the sloper pistons (product code 235) go with sloper heads, and vert pistons (product code 313) go...
