So had I been measuring AC (not DC) at my battery terminals I would have seen a jump?

Whoops....dropped the regulator. but nothing happened. Guess I got lucky. I saw other people say to drop it for a brief second. But, I'll skip it from here on out. Thanks, man.

Updates: First things first: my trickle charger shit the bed. I bought a cheap Schumacher 1.5 Amp trickle charging ($15). I believe this was the cause of the battery drainage overnight. When Testing the voltage: 1. Key off: ~12.6 2. Key on, lights off: ~12.6 ((little draw))...

I conducted the test and there was no current flowing between the the battery's negative terminal and the ground wire. For kicks I also grounded it to the frame in a few locations. Again, no current flow. Thanks.

Sorry. CB350 K3 1971. I put it in my avatar, I always forget to drop it in a thread. Thanks, buddy.

Wizards of the Black Art of Electricity, My battery (now batteries at this point) are being drained overnight by some unseen force. During my testing I also noticed my voltage while the battery was running was not sufficient. I’ve gone through about a dozen threads on this issue. Here are all...

rgr, thanks! just wanted to check.

Gotcha. I noticed that. The way the question was put I thought there was some gremlin living in the hole & you saw it. And just to check, by sprocket you mean the "star" with the phillips screw in it on the right crank case? (#9, 15, 24 in the picture) Thanks for the help.

is it the threads are missing on the sides?

Patriots, Quick question regarding the Gear Shift Drum Guide. The large screw-nut & inner assembly atop the upper crankcase, that helps you find neutral when shifting. After a parade rest take down & rebuild this part was giving me some issues. Namely when assembled, it would seize up the shift...

Re: No oil getting to top end after rebuild (careful rebuild) (fixed) Hey boys, Good news. I went back through and cleaned out all the oil holes. It appears a little lock tight somehow found its way into the lower right hole on the upper crank case (where it goes up to the cam housing). I blew...

...& one more

Here are the pictures with the oil holes highlighted.

Pictures included. Update: Okay, So I pulled off both the left and crank case cover and blew into the holes that run along the top of the crank case. I had good air flow in between them, however, I barely felt any air coming out of the top hole of the left side of the cam-case. I even tried...

I'll be removing the Right Crank Case Cover to do some investigating... I should be able to use compressed air to see an oil way is blocked when the right crankcase cover is removed by shooting air into the oil holes. But to remove the pump I'll need to borrow that wrench. Last time I took it to...

Gents, I'm back from the dead. Long story short, about six months ago oil stopped getting to my top end on my 71 CB350 K3, I was able to catch it before too much damage was done.. although it did destroy my cam and my point cover. (I have pics if you want to see the destruction). But now it...

Roc & Tim, Thanks for the advice, boys. As always, I appreciate it. I'll be breaking it down this week & visiting Flying Tiger to see if they'll hook me up. Take care, cFogs

Thanks for the reply, Damn, I'll take it to my local shop and see if they'll measure the bore for me. I know bore-tech does this, but I know its pricey. Money, as always is an issue. Any recommendations on the way I should proceed forward? Or should I just get ready to spend a ton of cash? -cFogs

Yes, unfortunately it is the later, the low pressure steam leak. After another rebuild I noticed it & it went away after a few good hard rides. This one lingered for a good while and got worse as I rode and the harder I rode it... Insert Sad Face

I have a stick...and I guess I can't be sure if its the right one. The bikes been through so many hands over the years. It fits in to the engine case just fine and showed the shame dull finish as the rest of the engine before I shined it up. The valve guides should be set, especially after the...
