    Thanks for the instructions. Wasn't able to get the bike due to inclement weather. Hope to pick it up when I get some free time this week.

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    These idiots (mechanics) are completely out of ideas, I'm picking the bike up probably tomorrow (assuming it isn't raining that bad. First thing I'll do is pull off the air filters and check the carbs with my volumeter (air flow meter?). I hope it's that simple, otherwise the next move is to...

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    150+ cold. No idea when warm. As for the diaphragms, a lot of guys glue them, I could try that?

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    Is it possible that the thicker JBM diaphragms are responsible? Seems pretty likely I'm going to be pulling it from the shop. They don't know what's up, and wouldn't want to open the engine till November. Apparently the loss of power issue is still very real, and I would have to tow it from...

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    Sorry for the delay, here's an update: The spark advancer seems to have improved the issue, but not fixed it. Current major issue is that the throttle 'hangs' aka the RPM's don't drop when you let off the gas. It's an issue I've had since I've had it, but not one I've considered to be the...

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    The brass is pieced together from 2 kits (Sirius and DCC). As far as I know, the main and slow jets are in the right spot, I doubt the shop would have messed that up, this isn't their first CB/CL. The slides are definitely fine, I have lubed them and checked for smoothness (before and after...

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    Warm, the bike has compression of 165-170psi. I adjusted the valves this winter, they should still be in spec. The timing is on at idle, but the bike will not rev to 4k RPM. The shop just went through both carbs. Replaced both bodies, I used all new brass internals, which were transferred...

    Devil Bike: CL350K2 with limited power - Out of ideas, need help

    Hey guys, I decided to make a new post for my ’70 Honda CL350 K2 Scrambler, as the other thread was months old and over 10 pages long. After putting in ~6 months of blood, sweat, and tears into this thing, I dropped it off with a mechanic. I haven't been able to get the bike running for more...

    New stock CL350, just rejetted by mechanic. No power under 3k RPM. Stumped...

    Devil bike is back >:( I noticed that the bike started missing on the right side more and more. I retimed it (it was in spec), gapped the points (.014 and .013), and gapped the plugs (.028), but it had no effect. I put in a new plug on the right side. The bike then rode fine for about a...

    Turbo CB750 anyone? http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/mcy/4491506451.html I really like this: Yamaha 200 CS5. Very clean http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/mcy/4494937633.html

    Any ideas on where I can find pilots in those sizes? My google searches for "keihin 3d" or "honda cl/cb" turn up negative for anything other than 35 and 38. Yep, as far as I can tell, 35 is the smallest in existance.

    New stock CL350, just rejetted by mechanic. No power under 3k RPM. Stumped...

    Ran the bike for a few hours this weekend. The throttle really crisps up when I set the mixture screw to 1/4 turns out. Obviously to lean this thing out a bit. I'm wondering what jet I need to replace as the naming conventions are a bit vague. Tell me if I'm wrong here, but I should swap out...

    On this set of points (aftermarket), the insulated washers have an extrusion to fit into the hole on the points plate, keeping the screw away from the plate and insulated.

    Nailed it. I rebuilt the points as described above (from inside --> out, or top --> bottom) as follows: Nut, lock washer, point wire connection, steel washer, insulating spacer, point plate, insulating spacer, point leaf string, steel washer, bolt head I was switched the orientation on...

    Having consulted the manual, I will check the spark plug wire, to make sure it isn't shorting on the case. I will also try a new plug to see if that is the issue. If these don't solve the issue, then I assume the issue is the coil?

    Well... I'm back to only running on 1 cylinder :( Not really sure what is causing it, but I'm not getting spark at the right sparkplug. 12.8v at the battery, 10.8V going into both coils, .014-.015 gap on the points. Taking the points cover off does not solve the issue. Also, not seeing any...
