hi John and crew, I rebuilt the carbs on my '65, runs great, I did have to trim the bowl gaskets (yes kester kits), but they still seep some, I checked and ...
petcock leaking past the aluminum washers on the mounting screws that came with that kit, replacing with some old mounting screws and fibre washers seems to be...
Dale, I just checked my CL160 parts manual and it doesn't even list seperate carb parts....just shows the whole carb...Carb Assembly! Wow...expensive way to...
well the fibre washers didn't work, the only thing I can think of is to pull the petcock again and check the mating surface where the mounting screws hit...and...
Real Nice work John, I blew my motor at Spokane race way last weekend. Dropped the right Intake valve again @ 7000 RPM under a load. Same failure as last...
Robin, Any idea why it's dropping the intake? I've done an exhaust once but never the intake. I'm using 5.5mm stem Ferrea intakes. That rpm is way low for...
James, Pistons are a big question. Most people getting the best hp are using some kind of custom piston they have made special. I use 56, and 57mm pistons on...
By far the fastest CB160 racing with AHRMA was torn down last year at Daytona, and found to be completely legal. Make no mistake, however - Denny rides the...
James, You see them come up on ebay pretty often...usually in oversizes. Also any "ART" NOS aftermarket pistons are good, they were the OEM supplier for Honda....
He won the year before, and ever year before that for about a dozen years. He finished 2nd on Monday, but also won Tuesday. Yes, I think there was a friendly...
Wow...I wouldn't consider any tear down of my bike "friendly". About four hours of work (including reassemble), $30 head gasket, valve cover gasket, breaking a...
I don't think it was an official tear down, he was opening his motor after the race and the race director just sat down and watched to see what was in there....
That sounds reasonable....I know I have my open often enough :) But if they didn't do careful bore and stroke measurements it wouldn't address displacement...
Well, you're being reimbursed for your trouble, and he more or less has to do that after daytona anyway on a motor would that tight... ... Any sufficiently...
Denny's been racing at Daytona since he was a Pro in the 70s. He knows his way around that place (and lives relatively close by). He also won at Barber last...

Hi, I am new to the group and new to riding, and I just got a '79 cl175. I know it's a 5 speed but I'm not sure if its 1 down and 4 up or vice versa, so if...
I have a '79 cl 175 with two carbs that need some serious cleaning. What's the best and easiest way to clean them out? Any help is always appreciated, thanks ...
Marty, There isn't really an easy way. Probably the easiest would be to go to the local auto parts store and buy a bucket of carb cleaner. It's about a 1...
Marty, ....and, someone told me once, the white crud, just soak it in 'lime away', bad idea..don't use lime away, or any lye based product, unless you want a ...
Hi Marty You need to try Yamaha carb cleaner at $10 a bottle. It will not destroy rubber parts and can be used on the bike but the favored method was ...
Hello I recently puchased a 1973 CL175 it only took me about 4 hours and a new battery to get it running after sitting in a garage for more than 10 years....
