Re: A Kid's CB350: First Retro Motorcycle Ever
so i just went outside and did a little more polishing on the engine. going for the polished aluminum for now i guess. i detangled the mess of wiring inside the headlight casing and tryed to get them in order for tommarow.
Tommarow im gonna bring my ipod touch outside with me(it has internet access) so ill be able to use a wiring diagram and im gonna try to wire up this killswitch and start the bike hopefully by kick start. *cross your fingers!*

dr j was talking to me i think...
in responce... Dr j- hed need two petcocks/filler caps if he used his original tank design, which is nearly flat against the top tube of the frame, as the tank would have a seam in the bottom which would keep the two halves seperate... or at least thats what i can see in the drawing.
Blake... get the bike in top stock condition first, then modify. i would get a set of feeler gauges and adjust your valves first. then rebuild your carbs using new gaskets/ carb rebuild kit. throw in fresh gas and new spark plugs that are properly gapped, then use the interactive wiring diagram i gave you (im pretty sure i did? old man honda?) to make sure you have all the basics in place for your ignition circuit. worry about signals/lights later.
give her a kick, and if you have compression, spark, and fuel, trust me, shell run. these honda twins are bulletproof.

Re: A Kid's CB350: First Retro Motorcycle Ever
please muffle your pipe. loud exhausts DO NOT save lives, and sound completely stupid and tinny. Also they do nothing but get even stricter laws placed on motorcycling.
and chances are your open pipe is not the correct tuned length, so its not like your really gaining any power; chances are you could BENEFIT from a little baffling.

Re: A Kid's CB350: First Retro Motorcycle Ever
WE HAVE FIRE!
My dad did something...helped me a little and we put a battery on it and we got it to fire for a second or two! so i know that its gonna be easy to get it running.
Going to the store for line filters right now... and some laundry soda to do some electrolysis with my tank. Cleaning the rust outta of that tonight. Will have pics...
also replacing some lines and wires too...

Re: A Kid's CB350: First Retro Motorcycle Ever
sounds good man! make sure your valves and everything are adjusted... also check cam chain tensioner etc. last thing you need is for her to be running, then bend a valve as she wasnt adjusted properly.
also sand your points and adjust them, then consider getting new ones (if the stockers are old and worn, its worth it.)
keep us posted.

Seriously dude, ya gotta get your hands on a manual. These are the kind of questions that are answered in full detailed with pretty pictures. Its hard for us to explain it the same way on here.
also, I PMed you regarding that throttle control.

Re: A Kid's CB350: First Retro Motorcycle Ever
I am i am! but i can't bring the manual in the shop if its on my computer which is why im not downloading it cuz it takes forever for me to download stuff with HILLBILLY CONNECTION SPEED.
Also, guys i have a little ADD and procrastination sometimes so bare with me... Photos just got done so heres what i've done so far:
First and foremost i had to put my new grille in
replaced lines last night and got 2 fuel line filters for the carbs...
Got fire last night! so thats great! we've been using the battery charger for my battery haha.
12volt 50amps.
General Cleaning up of the bike, not much i can do except that...without research.
Also starting to polish up the covers for the polished look as you can see.

Re: A Kid's CB350: First Retro Motorcycle Ever
yeah those tires are new. lucky!
blake... put the download on overnight. the manual really is a lot to print out all at once; so dont do that. print each section as you need it; you dont need the whole book all the time (though i have been looking into getting a bound copy made).
good luck. seems your making decent progress.
