Yeah, I hope there's still at least one leg on there... I saw the Keyster kit, but it is a bit pricey. If I'm paying $50 per carb, I may as well buy some Mikunis... I've been emailing a few people from Minnesota looking for one. I'll probably also take a trip to a big motorcycle salvage yard...

As a novice to motorcycle building, I messed up. I was rebuilding the carburetor on my 1971 Honda CB350 and broke the "legs" off of the primary main jet holder and cannot find a new one anywhere! Any tips? I can't find one in a junkyard anywhere... Borrowed this photo from google. (see attached)

Do you think its worth the money to go for an electric advacer?

You know, I think I did get the 5ohm coils. I couldnt remember exactly. I have no idea what kind of battery I got. It was a batterys+ brand that they filled with acid in the store. As for the stator, any tips for buying? And for the ignition, are there any note worthy that are a good value and...

I am beginning to fantasize about what to do when I get my 71 CB350 out of storage. It is my first bike, which I "rebuilt" a year ago, at the age of 17. (When I say rebuilt, I mean I spent as little money as possible, just cleaning the gunk and replacing piston rings and gaskets). I would...

Bought one today on eBay. I had to drill out the old screws on mine and made a mess of it... I could have welded, redrilled, and retapped it, but I decided to just pay up.

I put the pipes on and she ran great! First time since 2001. It seems that it was smoking more from the left cylinder, hopefully just from more oil over there. Now I'm doing some carb adjustments while I wait for a new right crankcase cover and oil slinger cover to fix my oil leak. The carb is...

Also no exhaust pipes installed, does this matter?

I am having trouble getting my CB350 running after a rebuild. I disassembled the carbs, cleaned them, and put them back together. Camshaft timing is correct and spark timing should be right, buy I'll check it tomorrow. I can get the bike to start up, then it revs high and dies within seconds...

Re: CB350 Cam Sprocket Also, the chain tensioner was removed while tightening the sprocket.

1971 Honda CB350 Twin. When assembling my cam sprocket to to camshaft, it seemed to fit very tight. I have it in the correct orientarion to the camshaft, the correct timing, and I have the special bolts in the correct holes. Still, the bolts seemed to turn pretty hard. Is there a torque setting...

The bike's at school and I'm on spring break till 3/31. It will drive me crazy to not be able to work on it! I must be the only senior excited to get back to school. All for the bike. Anyways, thanks for any input. If it isn't from the kickstarter, I'll post a picture when I get back.

He had the same extra part, but it was never resolved.

Number 12 on kick starter fiche?

I will have to take a better picture when I get back to school. I'm a senior in Highschool doing this as an elective project. My teacher is no help. I have searched through fiches and nothing! It must be from the motor, motor mounts, or axel assembly. Link to the previous topic from 2011 by...
