New CB350F in Wisconsin.

[RobbertCole]

Hello,

New guy from Madison WI. I couldnt tell you how I stubmled into the cafe scene. I just know it was love at first sight, so I started my bike hunt a few weeks ago and ended up finding a '73 honda cb350f in...well...not so good condition. It runs, mechanicly seems okay the bad is its got the drain plug JB welded into the oil pan ??? : the ignition/starter is bypassed and needs a good carb cleaning tanks a little dented up its got 4 cone filters and a strait 4-2 exhaust...with stock jets soooo wont be starting it and letting it run till thats sorted.

here it is

since this picture ive gottt black clubman bars on it and most of the chrome is sloooowly being blacked out.

I've been around quite a few car forums but this is my first bike and my first bike forum. Im very new into the bike world and if anyone can point me into the direction of

New exhaust
New Jets/ what jets to use for this conefilterd strait piped setup
and a New/used oil pan I would be super happy

other wise

Hello!

Its been a week and so far ive just stripped paint, painted other parts. I just rebuilt/ cleaned the carbs and added the clubman bars.

Basicly just cleanin it up. Im at a loss for parts and knowlege mostly :-\
comming along

I purchased this particular bike on a whim...from a guy that wasnt very good to it.

IE see wiring thats just the obvious. He also hacked the baffles off the mufflers...sounds good tho

I know nothing about the CB350F....or any CB for that matter

I came here to learn

Is it posible to get the 350F to run correctly on strait pipes and Conefilers? if so what jets are needed and where can i get em.

I think the standard jets are .75.I went up to .85 just to get a bit more balance from the pod filters I was running. Improved its revs a fair bit. I cant say that the jets I improved on were standard tho. Suck it and see, always a good start in the learning curve.
