Here's another vote for Fluke if you want to spend the money and have a solid purpose for it. I normally chose to buy cheap tools, due to the fact that I do really stupid things with them. I have a ExTech meter that I have had for a couple of years and have not had any issues with it. It also...

I do have my black/white wired directly to a black wire, my engine kill switch went bad last year and this was my work-around. However, all of last year I did not have this issue, the bike always killed when the switch was turned off, regardless of the headlamp being on. The black wire should...

Well, I found I have something mixed up. What I found is that the bike will die when the headlamp is switched off. If the headlamp is lit, the one cylinder stays running. Strange...

Ok, I have a strange issue that has me scratching my head. I am close to taking my 72 CL350 on a break in ride, however I'm having an issue where when the key is shut off, the engine remins running on one cylinder. I don't use the kill switch, I have bypassed it and run the black (hot when key...

That method talks on mainly new engines, has this method been tried and proven in older engines? The reason I ask is that it's a 72. I know there are several ways, just wanting to get some personal experiences.

Hello, So I know there are 50 different ways of breaking in a motor after rebuild, and I need some opinions for a 72 CL350. My project is pretty much done (for this year) and it involved going through the top end of the motor, with replacing cam chain and tensioner wheels/guides, rings, and...

I had a very similar issue a few weeks back re-assembling my CL350 top end. I could get the point side box on, but the tach side was giving me fits, and was exactly how you have explained it. Did you replace the cam chain? I had installed a new cam chain, and new cam seals, so it was a rather...

The cylinder doesn't look terrible, just normal carbon buildup. If the cylinder had a lower compression that the others, which look cleaner, you will have some abnormalities just from the fuel burning incorrectly at the wrong compression. As stated before, check your specs on everything...

I just rebuilt the top end on my CL350 a few weeks ago and ran into the same issue. As far as the advancer mine showed a bit of rust, but just pulled off by hand. I would assume some penetrating oil would do some good here, unless the roll pin has become damaged and has lodged itself into the...

Hello, I have a 1972 Honda CL350 that I am working on. My problem is when I was assembly the components in the right crankcase cover, I managed to break one of the teeth off the clutch basket. When I say teeth I am referring to the tabs on the outer edge of the basket. My question is, would...

I agree with BarnBurner, clamping or bolting them would give you more options down the road. You can weld if you want a more permanent setup, and do just as you said, I use a flap wheel on a angle grinder to just kiss the chrome, enough for a solid weld. Take caution when wrapping these...

This is the closest I have been able to find. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAC-Chrome-Exhaust-1968-1973-Honda-CB350-Twin-2-into-1-Exhaust-001-0103-/301091113487?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACB350%7CMake%3AHonda&hash=item461a6dca0f&vxp=mtr There was another on there a few weeks ago...

I found one on ebay last year that I like, mounts up to stock points. I cant find any at the moment, but it may come back at some time. You can see it in my avatar, if you want a better picture I can get one when I get home. Its not as low at a brat seat, but is shorter and flatter than stock.

I had a very similar problem on my CL350, timing was good, and I though I had all my ducks in a row. I first considered a vacuum leak, as this has very similar symptoms. It would idle fine at start, but once you revved it once it was done, and the RPMs would never drop till the bike cooled. I...

So I found this little project on the good ole' List of Craig and it may be a possible project since I want a second project (I didn't say NEED) and have a boat, and they have a bike and want a boat. http://bn.craigslist.org/mpo/4333202582.html My current project is a 72 Honda CL350, which is...
