Bump.
This project has been revived.
So since we last left you the bike has turned over hands to me the owner of the garage. Jfish has his zuki' and we work on it at the shop frequently. But we've also been working on getting the 175 to run properly. Once we failed at that i bought the bike off of him and freshened up the engine with some new seals and fixes to the camshaft timing. It was the whole one over.
Camchain, valve seals keepers bushings reseating, rings pistons clips, hardware, gaskets, carb dunk cleaning needles jets etc...
Hopefully jfish can provide some pics of the motor apart.
Earlier tonight I buttoned up my work and to my amazement, I was truly amazed, it fired up after two bumps of the starter.
Hooray.
Id like to try and pursue the vintage road racer for this motorbike. With that thought I bought the magnetic points breaker that eliminates the weighted advance. The magnetic snout replaces the advance unit setting the timing at full advance. I haven't installed it or know much about it thus far.
My question:
Does anyone run them on their street bike?
Can someone point me to the spec of how many degrees of advance there is on a 175?
How does it idle?
is the bike hard to start?
Also Ive seen the setup for an oil cooler plate for the cb350's... It sits over the oil slinger, replacing the stock plate, and is tapped into the high side of the oil return holes that drain back into the transmission/crank gears.
There were vintage versions of this setup.

And this Frenchman makes a modern one.

Does anyone know which hold in the 175's oil cover is the high pressure side...
Most of all this is a great forum, i never really read it jfish has told me bout alot, but after finally perusing. Thumbs up.
