Project Board / Re: Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.

Very strange summer weather, hot sun, rain, cold and rain and just cold, our central heating is on and off quite a bit with all this, mind you my boss gets cold if the temperature drops below 20c, she reckons it's due to her thyroid.

Cheers

Just a thought might be coil side for CB, other side for Electronic..

Project Board / Re: My 750F2 project.

First fire up tonight.

I am pretty happy how easily I got it running, I will have lots of fine tuning of the carbs to do I’m certain. I would like to get it’s jetting dialed in on a Dyno so I can confirm safe AFR but for tonight I am happy that after 3 years since I pulled the motor it’s alive again.

CB750 / Re: Primary chain k2

Yes, 70mm for the CB750K. I left mine alone at 68.2mm until I next take the engine out, as I had no other reason to go into the engine case. Maybe should have done it, if I had the opportunity again, I would, but I didn't know the top end would go back together so easily at the time and didn't want to get in above my head.

I have 40,000 miles on mine, so 1.3mm wear or 'stretch' per 10k, if it's linear!

Weather has been a bit average here Ted still having to flick the heating on couple of times a day. Hopefully warmer weather on the way!

What doesn't Julie stock!  Took me a while but now realise you meant central heating, I'm determined not to load our pellet boiler until September at the earliest.

It's annoying that summer comes along and so many jobs need doing but good to see the 500 is pretty much done.

CB350/400 / Re: Gear lever rose joint removal

Thanks all for you replies!

I asked Ken (Oddjob) (via text) and he's suggested replacing the rose joints completely, so that's what I am going to do. Drill the stud/ball out of the levers and fit new joints.

I've tried picking those dam circlips and although they move, they are very good at holding the joint together fortunately/unfortunately !

The oil light switch decided to stop working when I was going to set the static timing - it just stayed off so replacement via NJ fitted today.
Due to a raft of household type jobs & Wendy's Freelander decided it did not want to crank over I've been distracted. Thank goodness I had Home Start on her Insurance. Iffy starter motor so RAC Smart Service are fitting it on our driveway on Monday.

It will be after the weekend now before I can do any more on the 500. Not sure how it's affecting members here but we had the CH on again last night & this evening.

I'll give it a try later Ted.  So why don't they suggest connecting it up on the ignition side rather than from the coil I wonder, then again looking at the instructions I'm not surprised.
