CD is single carb with no provision as I remember to fit a dual carb set up so the head is either CB160 or CB175/200. I spent about $4.00 on piston research,...
C70 pistons are of course out of the questions, being WAY too small in bore and have the wrong size wrist pin. C90 pistons (50mm) bore are still 2mm smaller...
\> > CD is single carb with no provision as I remember to fit a dual carb ... The CD combustion chamber <should> be the same shape as the CB/CL 175, all three...
... The 160/175s use some oddball bearing dimensions in the upper bearing. Les Barker sells a kit of tapered bearings that includes a plastic shim for the top...
Michael, Yep, I've got a brass shim on the OD of my lower tapered bearing...AND I bought two kits to get the bearings I needed :) The shim has fallen out a...
Thanks for the great details on your race engines. Do you have a source for the copper head and base gaskets? My inclination is to tear in back down CC head...
Hi MT - The gaskets come from Copper Gaskets Unlimited in Arizona. Contact details are on the suppliers page of www.groupwracing.com (one of my horribly ...
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...
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...
... 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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
