Hi all, Kibble finally got the valves done. The cost for their kits is very high (I WOULD CALL IT A screw YOU PRICE). They have drop in spring kits with Ti...
Robin, That's about what I paid for custom Ferrea intakes in SS. ($60) 1mm oversize, included the machine work of course. Manle Gen 2 exhaust were a bit...
I have a '69 cl175 and i gave it a kick to start it up and the kick starter just stayed down. At first I thought that the bolt that holds the kick start lever...
Marty....sounds like you have it pretty much covered as to possible causes. Mostly likely the spring or the shaft binding up in the bushing. While you have...
I'm just putting my '68 CD175 back together after holing a piston during MotogiroUSA '06. I've pretty much tuned by gosh and by golly up 'til now, which...
Neil, You don't often find actual specs for the timing on the CD models. However all you have to do to set the timing is align the "F" mark on the flywheel...
Thanx John. I'm familiar with the timing marks on the stator since I used those to set the cam timing. If I were to do a dynamic timing I'd assume I need to...
Neil, I'd guess the 72 and the 160 are pretty close if not the same timing. And yeah I'd think it would be fully advanced at 3500...they do kick in at a real...
The specs for my old BSA Lightning called for dynamic timing at 3500 RPM to ensure timing was fully advanced. I figured the Honda has to be something similar. ...
Neil, Hey, throw a K&N filter on there and jet up one size and you'll be flying! Year before last Mary ran our 67 Sears 106 (gilera)...I was amazed, she kept...
I remember Mary on her Sears 106. I went head to head with her a couple times but every time I built up enough steam and got alongside I hit a grade and lost...
Looks really spendy. ... _________________________________________________________________ Dave vs. Carl: The Insignificant Championship Series. Who will win?...
Hi everyone, Happy New Year ! I hope you have enjoyed the holidays. Its been a while since I have last posted so I thought I would say hello and also see if...
anyone know the size...could a 160/175 starter be utilized in a set of starter rollers ? tks dch __________________________________________________ Do You...
... of starter rollers ? ... I hope so...I plan on building one this winter. Chain size is 219H, I have two starter motors than I plan on using. Each roller...
hmmmmm, then again the garden variety car starter has enough and should be cheap at napa...I was just thinking the 160 starter already has the drive sprocket...
I've seen a couple of sets of compact rollers made with Honda starter motors, always two of them. I was planing on building my own rollers, very short, fairly...
John, The starter off of a 1983 Nisan sentra mates up with the ring gear off of a motoguzzi very nicely. The guzzi ring gear is nice and small and can be had...
when I went to drain the carbs on the ex-bfd 175 I broke off one of the drain screws..dumb enough I know but that is done...a friend of mine who works in a...
If you are not in a real hurry I can check the threads on one of my spare carbs. I've got thread gauges. Can post back later today. JohnnyB ... the drain...
I check a few carbs, older type with smallish head on the drain screw and slightly newer (like 1970) with a the largish head, both were 6mm x .75 pitch. Actual...
If it's a 5mm, you might be screwed (no pun intended). Currently, you can get 5x.7mm, and 5x.8mm, but in the old days, the japanese factories often used...
Yep that was the first thing I was thinking...that it was the old JPN thread or whatever (Japanese National?). But I think they ended that habit right around...
DONE!!!, m6x.75 tap from mcmaster, ordered it yesterday afternoon, here today, well with some restocking nuts and washers, rubber mounts for the new seat...
