Guys, I'm in way over my head. Doin a restore on it and I got 2 shop manuals and I'm totally lost!! On my 65th b-day I made it #1 on my bucket list to ride again. I ain't been up since early '70's & haven't touched a wrench either. I won the bike off ebay and ever since I been buyin tools, parts & accessories as my SS $ would allow. I'm 66 now and realize I ain't gonna have the wind in my face till, maybe, 67!! Hell, the bike came with NO key and it took me 2 days of hammerin & drillin to bust off the SEAT LOCK just so I could remove the seat & tank!! I'm a full-blown newbie that even when I was ridin (last bike was a '51 pan in '72) never touched a Honda! I am totally intimidated by this carb re-build & also replacing the chains & sprockets, which I already have. UGH!! :-(
 
I'm in Endicott. 10 minutes from the NE border of Penn. and about 20 ms. west of Binghamton. When I started this crusade, I thought I had a partner with mucho tools & a heated garage. He bailed and I'm gonna do this anyway, HOWEVER long it takes! I ain't a quitter. ;-)
