Recommended Sources for Parts and Services / Air box CD175 K4 anyone?

« on: May 25, 2016, 11:03:17 PM »

As the title says, looking for as air box for a CD175.
As its a single carb bike the single cheap pod filter (previous owner fit) is one of the suspect items for my poor running at higher RPM so I would like to go back to stock.

Can pick up East Midlands, or will pay postage for the right bits.
Thanks.

Hi folks,
Just bought into grubby fingernails again with a CD175, looking forward to riding it, some tinkering and generally owning a bike nearly as old as me.

Other Bikes / Hi, new to SOHC, CD175 coming my way

Hi folks,

I'm not only new to SOHC the forum, but cams in general... My first classic 4 stroke bike!
Lamretta's, Vespas, RD125, rgv250, RD LC350, even a Piaggio Ape.

Several years hiatus having kids and moving abroad took away from 2 wheels with a motor, but I've had the itch again.

I've purchased a cafe'd CD175 to get back in to riding and tinkering.

So I'd like to start by throwing out the known issues and asking for input, obvious answers or other listened to.

She's running fine, pulls strong (as strong as I expect a 40 year old 175 to) but press the horn and no sound but engine dies.
The parking/side light is ok, but switch to low beam or main beam then the engine dies.
Sounding earth/ connection related, but any ideas appreciated!
