Been Around the Block
Hey guys picked up another project ontop of all the ones I have 1978 Honda cb400A hondamatic Hawk. but this one may be ready to ride in a few weeks provided this oil leak isn't anything more then the oil filter gasket leaKing, here's a few pics of when I picked it up... once again I'm not the lucky ass guy who gets one for free but for a few hundred I'd like to play with a 2 speed scooter in motorcycle form. Pulled the carbs and they werent bad at all but i think someone tried cleaning them and put cable on backwards. Although now it's not smooth and has to be pushed back to idle so I guess cables will come fully off and lubed up to see if that helps. My main concern before I test drive it is the oil leak from the i filter area. Pulled it off checked it out, looked good clean no goughes. rubber seal didn't look worn but I did note that it wasn't even close to being above the casing if held level like it was recessed and it's a flat contact.
