Coast to Coast
Gentlemen and Ladies,
I recently purchased a 71 CB350 in decent condition. I am trying to get this bad boy up and running great first, then I will do the modifying. Also, I am trying to be as cheap as possible.
Today is the first day I have been able to get my hands dirty. Thankfully the previous owner had already removed the stock airboxes and blinkers for me, as well as cleaned the carbs
I went straight to work.
Gas tank off, disassembled the petcock. (There was a little rusty looking stuff inside). I will thoroughly clean before I put it back on.
Removed the carbs, they were clean, but there is a small tear in each diaphragm. :'(
I removed the rectifier, the previous owner said he thought it was bad. Either way I am replacing it with the ingenius Radio Shack one for $3.50. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=6496.50 Thank you $50 mod blog
Some questions so far.
Should I just say "screw it" and replace the carbs with Mikuni ones? If so, which ones?
What do I clean the petcock with? Carb cleaner? Minus the rubber O-ring of course.
Any recommendations on cleaning and sealing the gas tank?
Pics are below, and I am sure more questions will arise. Thanks all
Welp, back to work
