Calm yer jets... just a test fit to ensure everything fits and works properly. It'll be cleaned up and receive paint soon enough.

The cam at the shift shaft has been inverted to reverse the shift pattern. Haven't actually ridden it yet, but it tested just fine in the garage. My other 3 bikes have handled this mod without issue.
I'll let you for know for certain, very soon. 8)i was just reffering to the angle at the shift shaft end but no reason not to correct it on all of your bikes if they are very far off at allDrewski said:Calm yer jets... just a test fit to ensure everything fits and works properly.

you see, until you have as close as is possible to a 90 degree angle of moment at each end of the linkage rod ,static position,it is not optimum and has room for improvement the improvement is only in efficiency and having equal pressure feel and movement up or down gear
its not like i was promoting an opinion,just the facts man

Yep I have to agree with XB, the splines small enough to be almost exact, linkage or lever the shifter should rest at 90deg. your up shifts are now at the very end of the reach before the linkage bottoms on the heim joint.
I/we all know your skills so I'm also sure you have an answer

Very cool. I coach high school baseball- the greatest sport. I'm itching for spring and we're not even to November.J-Rod10 said:

I built pedestals for a few of those machines for containment regs, I noticed from one making fuel filters for two days right next to me that the high frequency motors and drives on those machines can silently destroy ears over time... wear ear plugs mang.

Bought my first bike Oct 17th. 1971 Honda CB350. 4300 miles.
When I bought her she did not run. The previous owner was able to get it started for a moment but it died. I took it home, put a new battery in and she started, but wouldn't idle. After adjusting the idle screws some I got her idling around 1200 rpm. I took her for a test ride. When I shifted into 3rd she stalled. Started her back up and again she stalled in 3rd. Rode her back home. I've started taking her apart. She had the original air filters. I ordered some K&N filters. I also plan to go through the carbs this weekend. Picking up the carbs kit tomorrow from a local motorcycle shop/cafe called Cafe Racer. I'm really excited to work on her. I've got a Clymer manual and a lot patience.

It is difficult to ride my GL1000 when I compare it to my ZRX, Ha.
But for a first bike, that CB350 was a great choice.

Don't forget to go up a size on the mains with your new filters
Otherwise you will not be happy with how she runs. Just "fixed" my brother in laws bike due to this symptom. Hell of a nice scoot you got there!

if it runs at all now and the gas seems fresh then you need to go through a complete ignition valve and timing chain tuneup adjust before you do anything to the carbs
it sounds like the points may be old and lazy the gap closes up
new spark plugs and plug caps soon to
but you cant tune or adjust the carbs until you know the ign is spot on

Thanks for the heads up. Is it simple to increase the size of the mains? I've seen videos of people drilling holes and other modifications to the carbs. Are there just different jets I can buy?

Thanks for the info. I ordered some new spark plugs and I'll pick up a feeler gauge for the points. I need to do some research on the ignition valve and timing chain.

xb has the right idea on this one. "ignition tune up" kits are available with points and condensers. You'll learn a lot as you get this bike back up to running shape. Fire up a build thread or "help" thread in the right section and put a link so we can find you. Nothing crazy at all to get bigger jets. Those who drill jets are only doing so to get a rough idea as drilled holes in jets aren't round at all and aren't even close to being the same hole size if you drill several. Yours are "simple" buy new larger sized mains at various places (make sure they come with the o-rings if they are press-in jets) and you'll be all set. Start a thread and we'll help you out sir!
