Hey all, I have been scouring various forums and cannot find an answer to my problem. I am attempting to change the cam seal, but I cannot get to it! I have taken off the points, but cannot get the advance mech out. Everything I read states it should just slide off, but mine didn't. I cranked...

I am beginning to think something is wrong with the carbs. I double checked everything, no air leaks, no sticking slides, no leak in diaphragm, I do need a new battery, but I don't think that will make it do what it is doing, fresh plugs, clean fuel, new petcock(old one didn't have in-tank...

I am going to. So far I have them to be barely before the hole. They weren't off by too much.

Yeah, It is for a cb350. I'm going to have to look it up a bit more. Everything I am finding is for four with a single cable. Mine obviously has two. I'm assuming twins are have a different way of syncing. Thanks for all your help btw. While on lunch, I was fiddling with them and found that one...

I can actually get one from my work for pretty cheap, thanks! So to bench sync, I am just getting the butterflies to barely cover(but not entirely) the holes? Seems easy enough. Now once this is done, am I able to adjust the idle via the screws or what? That confused me a little. Also, does...

Ah, I see. It was just a thought I wanted to check. I knew, what you meant with the lean/rich deal. How would you recommend synching? I put the carbs on, pulled out the idle until they didn't touch, then adjusted so they barely sat on on the stop, then started adjusting the cables(which were...

It did it even when I was running rich(could smell it and also checked the plugs). After I installed the filters it was running almost perfect(in terms of mixture) according to plugs. So I think I am good on mixture now, but I will definitely make sure to oil and adjust the mixture. That makes...

To each his own

Alright ladies and gents, I finally got my bike in the road, but am having a couple of problems. My bike runs great, until it gets to full operating temperature and giving me two specific faults. 1. After a while, when I am at a stop, shift into first and my bike bogs terribly until I stick...

That didn't cross my mind! Thanks for pointing that out. The only reason why I thought it would be okay was because I have read some people on here putting that size up front, but I trust an answer specific to my question. Thanks again!

I am just wondering if anyone does this. This is for my cb350. I purchased a 110/90-18 Spitfire for the rear and a 100/90-18 for the front, but the front will not be in until the 28th! I was thinking about putting a 110/90 up front before i purchased the 100/90, but decided against it for no...

Haha exactly what I was looking for. Thanks man.

The disc set I have are from a 72' I believe and are hydraulic, it was just a question of if having them be mechanical would be better than the stock drums I currently have. Eventually I will fix and use the hydraulic set-up. Sorry I did not specify exactly what I meant.

They are pretty much street legal pit bikes! Much better alternative to a scooter haha. I cannot wait until we get some where I work and I get to test ride it. Seems like you could maneuver that things like crazy, it would be fun weaving in a city. Honestly I am down to at least try one.

So I am yet to take pictures that i like due to my work area being small and dimly lit. I can't get a decent picture. Also, I really like my short levers, but they look a little funky with the big stock controls, so i think my next buy is going to be smaller controls. Another thing, I bought a...
