Honda-SOHC

If anyone has the above available would be interested in buying.

A complete primary shaft would be ok as long as sprocket teeth are ok

Its the spring plate that holds main jet.

Let me know price and condition.

Thanks

Make sure you leave the sump & oil filter off off it's pretty maneagable just as the crankcase halves, plenty of space to fit the block upwards afterwards.

I used a piece of cardboard in the shape of the sump held in place with a couple of bolts to keep the dog hairs out until I fitted the sump etc.

Thanks Ted

Started to reassemble my CB500K1 engine and finding just the bottom end quite a lump to handle.

I wanted to double check that it is possible to reassemble everything in the frame once the crank case halves are together and installed and whether anyone else has tried.

I have a motorbike lift which means it is easier to work on at comfortable height.

I have rebuilt a number of CB750 sohc engines and no option other than to assemble up to cam cover, but I was a few years younger then 

The return spring on my 500 K1 was missing. I eventually sourced the correct return spring for my 500 the spring sits on the outside of the frame/swing arm as you have identified.

There is a photo by Simon (SPR) showing it fitted.
If link works its this:-  http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,28739.0.html

Thanks Ted

Just wondered if any update on repro to match original availability?

I lashed out on new original down pipes and collector but waiting for silencer availability before fitting

There is a formula for working out the perfect number of bikes to own.

Current number of bikes owned +1 

I have same problem after buying  engine gasket kit from DS.

Assume there are pattern parts available for less than £5 each?

Anyone know a supplier?
