Thanks for the response by the way!

After absurdly obsessive testing and three full days of troubleshooting I found out that the 1/4 coil is broken. It sparks both plugs when grounded against the engine testing spark but when the plug lead for cylinder four is inserted into the head, it faults. I hooked up the coil for 2/3 and ran...

I did a meticulous compression test and this is what I found: Dry Oiled Cyl 1) 145psi / 153psi Cyl 2) 135psi / 150psi Cyl 3) 137psi / 143psi Cyl 4) 133psi / 145psi I'm trying to get the bike running for a friend who is on a tight budget and I don't want to sink any more of my...

Hey all, Just got ahold of a 78 CB750k for $175 (with title). Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about the price. Cleaned it up, did a shit load of odds and ends work, and then fired her right up, third kick. Rear brake was seized up, got it free and cleaned, lubed. Front brake is shot, master...

We are talking about a '75 CB 360, inline fuel filters brand new and clean. Stock carbs. Non-stock jetting though I don't remember each jet size off hand, I do know that the main jet is the only one non stock. Carbs have been very thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt with all new jets (excepting the...

Hey all, I am just getting my project bike on the road a bit. I've been fixing problems as they crop up but I'm looking for some feedback on on issue I'm seeing. When I start the bike, it idles fine after firing off a single kick. Every time. Then when I pull the throttle up to take off the...

Thanks for the clarification on the 3-wire R/R, that's what I have. I did a little more tinkering and have found that when the DVOM is wired properly in series between the battery and the fuse panel there is a .4A current being drawn from the battery when the bike is on but the kill switch is...

Alright, picked up a new battery. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IUV7YNW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This one, on the cheap from Amazon. From the readings I have gotten so far, it seems that the charging system is putting out a R/R-ed voltage of 14.44 even at idle and...

Got a new battery. Things are looking up. However, I am afraid the charging system is over charging the battery. The maximum voltage I have measured across the battery terminals is 14.44 V with a sustained revving of the engine. Is this too high of a charging voltage for a small sealed battery...

Hey all, I was riding just the other day, on only the third or fourth ride of my new build, when suddenly she bogged out and refused to rev at 55 in 6th gear. She ran right down to nearly nothing and sputter and putted along at what was nothing more than a coughing idle in first. Initially I...

Thanks for the second opinion.

Hey, just looking for confirmation here... I've got a coil that's causing my main circuit to blow (yes I'm sure it's the coil). Upon testing, I have wildly varying resistances and continuity between all leads which changes every time I shake the coil. I am assuming it's a fair guess to say the...

Suggestions on where to buy the cable with the correct ends to fit the stock carburetor mounts?

Alright, I am working on a '75 Honda CB 360. I ordered this half turn throttle assy from Dime City and the threads for the throttle cable are non-stock...

Hey all, Sorry for failing to keep this thread updated. I know some of you were following me. I have had a very long road on this build! I've spent months researching, ordering the wrong parts, breaking things, and otherwise making a nuisance of myself. At the moment, I've tried to attach...
