    72 CL350 - Cafe Project 13 - Luck is not a factor for this noob

    Since getting her started and idling...I figured I'd move on to a fun/cheap winter project since I wont have funds for tires/brakes/chain with Christmas around the corner....Gotta keep the GF happy so I get garage time. Started with a wood seat base mounted on the existing hardware so it will...

    72 CL350 - Cafe Project 13 - Luck is not a factor for this noob

    Little update, sorry I was a tad busy over the weekend. Left coil gives me no reading when I try to kick start. Right coil does which makes sense since its giving me a spark. I back tracked the wires from the left coil to see if I saw an issue there, nothing was visibly disconnected but the...

    I agree "engine doesn't turn over" was probably the wrong term, or a premature assessment at this point. When I kick start it I hear the unit turning & I can also push it with no issues...when I had her gassed it sounded like she almost started but then gas started coming out the bottom of the...

    Little update. No Spark out of the left side. Right lights up. Flipped the plugs to ensure it wasn't the issue...both plugs light on the right side.

    Appreciate the comments. Ill see if I can get spark and go from there. The wires were pretty torn up and new plugs are never a bad idea. Hence those being on my list. Do I need a new battery or do you think the jumper will do the trick for the time being?

    72 CL350 - Cafe Project 13 - Luck is not a factor for this noob

    Last night was the first night I was able to put in some time on her. Cleaned up some surface rust and pulled a bunch of parts off for cleaning. Tank is in decent condition and I am in the process of cleaning via the vinegar/BB's Skrews method. Currently in my shopping cart (based on the...

    72 CL350 - Cafe Project 13 - Luck is not a factor for this noob

    So I have had the bike a week now. After fixing a leak in the fuel line (what a mess), & changing the oil I attempted to fire her up with just a battery jump pack.... no success. All lights work, and I can hear the electric start attempt to fire (tried the kick start as well) but engine...
