Selling my 1972 CB350 that I've put a decent amount of work into. The engine is toast after 1 of the rods bent so I'm putting it up for sale. Shop I go to is estimating $750-$1000 including a sourced engine from ebay with shipping. The bike is awesome and was actually part of a Jay Leno's...

Thanks alzcbz and everyone who's been helping. Finally started tearing the top down a bit with the engine on the frame still. Was hoping to at least replace the sprocket and see where that gets me. Unfortunately, I got all the way to removing the rocker pins and rockers and got stuck. The left...

Really appreciate everyone's help. Alzcbz called it. The cam sprocket bolts are gone and the chain/sprocket are turning on top of the camshaft. Once I opened things up a bit more, I could see it spinning over the camshaft while the rockers didn't move at all. Once again, really appreciate...

Thanks a ton for the reply guys. Much appreciated. @TheCoffeeGuy - I liked where you were heading. Pistons are definitely moving up and down. I went as far to take the cylinder cover off the top of the engine. The sprocket and chain are all in place and in good shape. I turned the kick-start...

Something snapped. I think... Was cruising along on my '72 CB350 last weekend and all of a sudden I heard/felt what seemed like a cable snapping. Immediately the bike revved down and shut off. Thought it might have been my throttle cable at first. When I finally rolled to a stop, I tried to...

It lives! Got to say you guys were a ton of help. Once I took the carbs off to check them, I knew something was immediately wrong when I took noticed a white powder substance in the drain plug (before even taking them apart). Once I did remove the bottom of the float, a dust storm appeared...

Still stumped guys... Charged the battery with a trickle charger for 6 hours and event tested the spark plugs like BarnBurner suggested but still nothing. I was seeing a clean blue-ish / purple spark too which is good. Any other suggestions? Starting to wonder if my carbs have something...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Much appreciated. Trying these out this week and will keep you updated.

I had a CB125 and loved it. Used to ride it to college a few days a week and take it out on short weekend cruises like you're planning to. I will say there were times I longed for a little extra power. I could easily cruise on a 55 mph road but people would be passing me and I'd wish I had a...

So stumped that I had to join Do The Ton. First post so don't tear me to shreds! Appreciate the read. Got a '72 CB350 I've had for a few years now. Buddy of mine got in a small accident on it a while back (he's fine) but it's since been fixed by my regular show. Damage was mostly the front...
