Honda-SOHC

Im currently stripping the engine and following the haynes manual for it. Ive been trying to remove the primary shaft but it feels like the nut needs a hell of a lot of force to undo.

Is there a way to hold it in place? I've still got the pistons connected and it seems like they're holding it in place when I try to undo it.

Whats the best way to undo the bolt holding the primary shaft in?

Brituro Dunstall decibel silencer. 41 - 44mm. Like new. Tried it on my CB400f but was too loud for me. Only used for a few short rides. Located in the northwest near Wigan.

£50 + postage or you can collect.

When the bike is warm enough to have the choke off it idles fine at roughly 1200 but then when I rev to 6k and higher or after ive been riding for 10 mins or so the idle gets stuck at 2500-3000 even with the throttle fully closed, I'll have to blip the throttle to try to get it to settle back down and sometimes that doesn't work. When it does it while out for a ride as soon as I start letting the clutch out it goes right back down to near idle.

I had the carbs sonic cleaned and had new kits put in them so they are stock. I've just installed some new inlet intake rubber connectors and gaskets. But since I've already got the carbs off is there anything I can check in the carbs themselves to double check its nothing in them before I connect everything back up.

Back again with more electrical issues. I've got everything sorted now bar this low beam issue. I get a good voltage reading on my multimeter at the hi-beam and low beam connecters in the headlight bulb holder but when I make contact between the bulb and low beam wire the voltage cuts out. The bulb works fine as the hi-beam wire lights up each filiment when I test them. I get the same voltage at the switch on the bars but this also cuts out when I make contact between the bulb and low beam wire. Has anyone had issue similar to this? Or has an idea of what might be wrong?

I forgot about the rubber mounting for the rear lights, so thats why they dont work. Well in the end somehow the relay had died, tried a spare one I luckily found and the front ones flash now. Thanks all.

Have you got all the wires earthed (green wires) correctly through the earth tabs each side on the inside of the headlamp bowl?

I'm guessing the indicators are aftermarket as they dont have an earth wire coming out of the indicator housing so they are grounded at the end of the indicator storks where I have took some paint off.

Thanks all. Got that job ticked off, now onto the next one.
