Treks right JB, Because I can't find the springie thingie that hooks up to the throttle cable and can't even figure how that's going to happen anyways........thinking about ordering that 50 dollar one from ebay.
The very one that trek recommended on your thread.
I think.
I'm also debating on doing some polishing like trek did........I'm just lazy of course.
And second day back at work after surgery, and 100 degree weather for the rest of the week, doesn't do well on my stamina.
The problem w my polishing technique is it will only look decent from a distance for a couple seasons...tops
Its totally half assed. Seriously like 5-10 minutes a piece. Rachel only hit them half assed w 400 grit...in the easy to reach spots. Just one harbor freight buffing wheel on cheapy bench grinder w red or brown rouge from HF...what evers handiest within reach of the wheel.
If you want to do it right...400 - 800 - 1200 + paper then red rouge then white rouge. More work, than its worth to me...personally. Cause even the best polish on aluminum aint gonna last. Without, some sort of coating.

With my original carb. After soaking in carb medic and rinsing w water. i used the compressor to blow out ports. Bubbles shot out of all threads...around jets. Nothing was tight...those kind of leaks wouldve caused tuning mayhem.
$50 bucks very well spent.
Floats were dead nuts at 24mm right out the box. Guessed at presets for idle and A/F. Bike started in 3-5 kicks if I remember right. Turned down idle speed and took her for the ride in the video I posted.

Well, finally pulled the trigger and ordered a carb for the 100.
I've looked everywhere for that spring and can't find it.
Hopefully it will be a plug and play, cause I'm lazy.
Made it through my first week at work after surgery......not too, too bad. 100 degree weather, so naturally I had to pick the hottest freaking time to return. Next week even hotter. Sheeesh...!!!!!
Got a roller out of her now, well semi......!

I missed this question.
To answer it, getting the races out was easier than heck, they just popped right out with a long punch and hammer.
Only thing that concerned me, was the bearing just slide right onto the stem, well not exactly slid on, but with a little force from me it went on.
I didn't have to press, or beat it down with a hammer.

Cleaned up the air/battery box and tool box.
Turned out ok, 'cept the tool box, lots of holes and weak metal. Missing the spring door anyways.
Still need a filter for it.
Also, are there any suggestions/recommendations for a chain and sprocket? Got links?
Thanks
Yeah, I've watched that movie a few times myself.
Although, don't think I've sat through it completely from start to finish.

Not sure if the fitment is proper, or if you're going for a period exact resto, but I have an all-there toolbox from a CB360 if ya want it.

Thanks my man, I'm just not gonna put one on it. If the wife decides to ride it once finished, she won't even know it's suppose to be there.
Besides, that CB175 roller I bought has one with door, but won't use that either.
I really appreciate the offer.
Hey bro, you still have that 350 roller?
Sorry, sold that to Mr E, who needed a titled frame.

It's curious that all balls says they fit a 72 cl 100. And the Amazon seller lion parts states they don't fit. Weird.
Also, lion parts has them listed on eBay for $25.xx +free shipping.

Got more going into the roller.....hell could even try to start this thing by the weekend.
The carb came in the mail today.
Stopped to get a battery from advance, they wanted me to give them a number, guess o'reily's across town will be the one 2morrow on the way home from work.
did git the spark plug.........and will try to wire it up with this raggity harness I have.
thinking of ordering this 50 bux harness from fleabay.
And sprockets and chain......sheeesh.........sh1ts expensive..........this little thing is costing me as much if not more than getting my 750 going.
