Most cards for the trader the more you do the smaller the commission but the machines are damned expensive to buy

Trigger had one stuck, or wrongly assembled from new and the pressure cracked the oil filter housing so i doubt yours is stuck solid.
The bolts inside the cam cover O ring should have copper wasers under the heads and the brackets for the end caps alloy ones

The full Honda manual is there but you have to start with the 500 then all the supplements till you get to your model.
No real order for stripping but if you are going to do engine work it makes it easier and lighter to get out if you remove the head and barrels first.
Get an impact screwdriver with JIS bits and a 3/8 drive socket set with both long sockets and six sided

I ccan do you a nos rotor and the main jet leaf springs do appear on a US website when in stock but only in sets of 4, stainless and not cheap.
Can pprobably find a used spring
 But these and the rotors are now like hens teeth so not cheap pm me if interested.
Ask nurse Julie if Trigger has any of the stator contacts left he had etched a long while ago.
Do you mean the primary chain sprocket on the shaft? Never seen one worn

Like i said the taiwanese manufacturers did not care and put on whatever the buyer wanted

All the original cables i saw in the 70's had a black lining on the inner cable and should have had a white inner coating on the outer but you only saw that if the outer was damaged.
I also know for a fact that the taiwanese manufacturers at the time would package anything in the way the buyer asked, i bought many Yamaha FS1E cylinders in packaging identical to original.
Honda cables normaly had the part number in white on the outer sleeve.
I doubt that Honda will do anything as you do not know where it originally came from, that dealer is gone so cannot provide purchase details and finaly time in stock
