Ok small update after carb rebuild. Bike revs out a million times better now. No bog off of idle, and it seems to just run better all together. Still a few small issues. I can’t seem to get the idle dialed in. Sometimes it idles fine with a certain screw position, other times it wants to die or...

Please please please please please please please please pleeeeeeease? that will be all

Thanks! Is the seat comfortable? Mine is kinda ripped I wouldn’t mind a new one and that’s a pretty cool one. I originally didn’t like the look of the high scrambler pipe but it’s grown on me so much. Mine is not in the greatest of condition though. Big hole where the guard used to be, which I...

I’ve been through the carb a few times now but it can’t hurt to try again. I’ll try to get the timing right first

That’s a great looking bike! Where’d you get that seat in kind of like that? I updated the rectifier a couple of days ago and it definitely helped

Thanks for confirming. I did some more research (probably should’ve done that before posting a question) and found my answer. I think I should be able to get it working again. Do you think this could cause my running issues?

I appreciate everyone’s kind words and I’m super excited about this bike. I got it to a running and riding condition but there is a bog off of idle when you go full throttle. I did the carb floats, but I have yet to rebuild the carb. I’m sure the rebuild will help but I also considered a timing...

Some of you may have seen my posts in the engine section of the forum asking for help but I thought it might be kind of fun to make a build thread too. I don’t know how much I’ll actually update it, and I’m sure most won’t really care as this won’t be a special or high cost build, but it might...

I think your right. I wired up a modern rectifier, just a simple $3 bridge rectifier off Amazon, and that seemed to help idle a little and maybe even power, and with a little more carb tuning I got it to a rideable state, but it still has the bog so I think I’ll do the full rebuild cause what...

Ok so I got the new coil and the bike does run exponentially better than before, however it has a huge bog when you get on the throttle. If you roll into it if seems to rev out fine, but there is still no power. I first diagnosed this as a fueling issue as it ran better richer, so I set the clip...

Yea it would seem to me that it must be grounded through the mount, but I thought I ought to check before I went any further as I’d rather not wreck anything and I know that the wrong things being grounded can result in premature failure. I also bought new floats. I was able to patch the old...

Ok so I ordered a new coil, because even if that doesn’t fix the problem, it can’t hurt to replace something that old. So my next question is in regards to the coil mounts. At first it seemed only logical to me that the coil must be electrically grounded to the frame through the “core” of the...

350k ohms not 35k. I think that has to be my issue. 35k would be within reason 350k is way too much I would think

Ok update on the update. I checked coil resistance, but not 100% sure if I did it right. Between the two leads on the coil (black and blue) was about 2 ohms. Between the spark plug wire and the blue wire, as well as spark plug wire and black wire, I got about 3.5 mega ohms, which unless high...

Ok leaning towards a non fuel related issue. I realized last night that it was possible that ignition timing moved somehow, so I went to check this morning and there was continuity across the points no matter if they were open or closed. This obviously suggested a short somewhere else. The...

So I’m new here and there seems to be a lot of vintage Honda 100cc fans out there with a lot of knowledge so I was hoping you all could help. To make a long story short, yesterday I bought a cl100 for very cheap from a friends who didn’t know how to work on it. It had no spark so I just cleaned...
