Hmm, check your grounds and test the resistance of the coil. Have you tried a little bit of starting fluid while you kick it?

Did the bike ever come equipped with a lights and a battery?

That sounds like it might've created ground issues. This is probably going to sound like a silly question, but when you test the plug for spark, are you grounding the end of it to the head or does it still make a spark without touching any part of the engine?

Sorry, I'm on my phone and its taking me a little while to type out responses. -If the top end is in good condition then check for vacuum leaks, and make sure that the carb isn't gummed up. After that check the points for correct ignition timing, gap distance, and that the voltage output is...

The best way to see if it'll run in my opinion is to make sure everything is sealed, and none of the gaskets are leaking. I would also pull the float bowls off the carbs and see if the float needles are sticky or gummed up and that the jets don't have varnish in them. After that see if the...

Sounds like vacuum leak issues to me. Check all of the intake components and make sure there are not any cracks in any rubber parts. Another thing to check is if the reed valves are bent or not sealing properly. Two strokes rely on both high pressure and vacuum pressure to run. I wouldn't...

I dig it! Virtually all the performance aspect of making a café is already there! Looking forward to seeing the build and end result!

. Joining the military was my original plan when I was in high school. When I was 17 I joined the navy, went to meps, and happened to be smart enough to be a nuclear engineer. About a month before I was supposed to ship to basic I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and they couldn't take...

Hey guys, Well as it goes, life being 18 (almost) 19 isn't as easy as I first thought it was. I'm still having an impossible time trying to find a job, and I'm putting I'm more hours looking for one than a full time job. My parents who are retired air force don't quite understand why an...

Top- Just to let everyone know, I'm tearing down the engine tonight. Rockers, tappets, and camshaft is still available. As well as good coils, carbs, headers, etc. I have a ton of parts and I am letting them go for cheap. Take it easy, Thanks, -Jared

As in mufflers? Or the pipe mounts to the head?

Figure I should mention some of the goodies I have for the bike that were difficult to get, and some of the new parts I have as well. 2 New Mikuni slide carburetors Brand new intake and exhaust valves that are freshly ground in the head Type 1 Camshaft comes with rockers and tappets, I'll...

Well fellas and fellettes, it's finally time for this moment. I unfortunately have to sell my 3/4 finished 1969 Honda CL350 Type 1 Café build. Being young and dumb, I made some poor decisions I am now suffering the consequences for. So I have to sell the back burner project to someone who needs...

Thanks man lol. I hear ya, just because we're now out of Iraq doesn't mean that Afghanistan is any better.

Cam with the housing... Say $150 with out shipping. And I appriciate that bradj it means a lot. Rocan I know right!

Sorry I took so long to reply guys, I don't mind parting the engine and I have a working petcock. The carbs are mikuni VM30 knockoffs that worked great, I'll even throw in the throttle cable. The headlight is steel but it's to far gone for reuse. And for the clipons say $45?

Well I hate to do this but I'm parting my 1969 CL350 type 1. My parents gave me an ultimatium to get rid of it before I leave for basic training, I would love to finish it but I don't want to see it thrown away or something. All the parts are there including several aftermarket parts such as...

Thanks you guys! Many more to come!!!!
