Thanks guys! Would anyone happen to know if the flat head Philips bolts that go through the starter clutch go into the the generator rotor? Making them one piece? Wasn't really able to tell during disassembly because the bolts were mangled when I took it apart. Any help is appreciated...

Sorry guys been real busy with life lately and hadn't had much time to work on the bike. I cleaned up the engine real good today and also decided to try and diagnose the starter issue I had. The starter would spin but would not grab. I assumed I would just need some caps, springs and rollers...

So I did a bunch of Google searching like motorbikebruno said to do. I actually like the way the entire engine looks painted but still not confident about the durability of the paint. I found some 2 part engine pain from Eastwood that had some good reviews but first im goi to clean up the engine...

Baking it wouldn't be the issue I'm sure I can obtain an old oven. I just dot know what I would do with the case of I gunkote the head and barrel.

Oh man now I really don't know what to do. I've done a bunch of research and can't find any high temp engine paint that's not in a rattle can. Everything I find is some crap from autozone ( I dot know its crap but I assume it's not the best). Now I'm thinking about keeping it natural after I...

Okay so I did some research and seen that gun coat has to be baked on. Now the top end would be a problem since when it is dismantled I can paint/coat each piece individually and bake but how am I suppose to bake the bottom end if it is still together.

Thats good to know. Never herd of something being harder to paint after soda blasting. I'll have to do some research. I checked out kg coatings gun kote but they have so many products I don't know what to even look at. Are there any threads on here where someone has used this stuff before. Is...

Here are some picture. Anyone know what the hole is in the case at the bottom. Directly below the flywheel.

Thanks for the help xb33bsa! So my fork seals finally came in. Since the uppers of my forks are extremely pitted and rusted I didn't want to slide the brand new fork seals over it. I decised to sand up to 2000 grit and then wrap the rusted area with plastic and slide the fork seals over the...

So I finally got a chance to do a compression test on the engine. Since the engine is out of the bike I obviously did the test while the engine was cold. Results came back good. Both cylinders measured 150psi. Next. I think I will check the valves. So does anyone have any opinions on what I...

While waiting for some oil seals to arrive to finish the front forks I decided to try and pop out a dent in the fork tube cover. I failed. Anyone have any opinions on how to fix this dent. Just so you know te spot that it is in I can access from the back.

What are you clear coating them with. Im in the process of polishing up some aluminum parts on mycb350 and am worried about them corroding again in the future.

Thanks alzcbz. The motor has 35K on it. Not sure if it has ever been rebuilt or not.

Disassembled the front forks planing on replacing the fork seals. Was shocked when I noticed the fork tubes had springs on the exterior of the tubes. Everything I had seen online showed forks with springs on the inside of the tubes. So I did some more research and found out that the 68 - 71...

Over the weekend I inhit the frame with some gloss black automotive paint and was very pleased with the results. Hopefully it holds up well.

I then cleaned the frame with some denatured alcohol and hit the frame with 2k two part automotive primer from Napa. Then sanded with some 400 grit.

Next thing was to sandblast the frame and prep for paint. Bought myself a sand blaster from harbor freight for 35 bucks and worked great. Only downfall was the blasting media was 50 bucks for 50 lbs and I was going threw it quickly. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it any cheaper...

So about a month ago I started tearing down the bike. This is what I have done so far. I completely stripped the bike down to the frame. Tried to baggy and label everything o could. I have to say the wireharness did scare me a little. It wasn't that bad until I got to the birds nest of...

I have never rebuilt a 4 stroke engine before and it's been something I have wanted to tackle. I'm gojng to open the motor soon and see how things look. Then make a decision on what to do. Thanks for the imput guys!

As of now I'm thinking of doing top end rebuild. I feel I mine as well rebuild the engine while I have it out. A compression test is actually the next thing I want to do. Just waiting to borrow a compression tester from a friend.
