Honda-SOHC

I’m not upset, these aren’t tears, it’s just my allergies

Bike has been delivered today. Condition is pretty good. Battery bolloxed. Never seen one shaped like a letter T before, weird.

Partially dismantled, tank is a false one, it's actually under the seat and has a fuel pump to get it to the carbs.

Fair few little parts need attention, parts on order from CMS. Still needs a few more to get it really nice.

Brakes need attention, they work but bind on, Fluids needs changing, both clutch and brake. It turns over but I can't hear the fuel pump working so I need to test that, it almost fired at one point so maybe it is working.

Was on the road till 2020 as I can see the US tax sticker. Came from Pennsylvania. 

Says we will send this form via email on the page Ted, they never did.

Already found them Ted but didn’t think they were exactly the same

After scouring Ebay and the web I still can't find any angled battery connectors similar to what Honda use.

It's the flat 90 degree type, not bothered if they are crimped or soldered so long as they look the same.

My current (pun) cables are stiff as hell and I want to replace the positive and negative cables. Also going to replace the starter motor cable and connectors and have already ordered the cable and the connectors for that. I'm hoping the new cable is a lot more flexible.

Any sources?

Ends are steel, middle is alloy, it breaks where it joins.

Yes, the casing are likely to break if too much pressure is applied. Even an impact gun refused to move mine. I had some luck doing this on one of my engines, I drilled a 3mm hole in the casing above the bolt, I then fed penetrating oil down this hole for some time, this method allowed the oil to go inside the corrosion and slowly get it to release. I then filled the hole in with epoxy and painted over it. It can take some time to work, mine took around 10 days before the bolt would move.

Engine to frame would be my guess Bryan. One of the engines I recently bought in the job lot has both front bolts stuck and both underside also stuck. I was trying to get them loose when I spotted someone had snapped a cylinder stud, N/S/R and in order to get the remains out of the cases they'd cut across the gasket surface and fitted a slightly bigger stud. I threw the cases away after seeing that, I tried to salvage the rest of the studs but they refused to come out even with a LOT of heat.

BTW, the engine bolts wouldn't come out either, ended up drilling one out but it drifted a little, I was looking at how to fix that when I spotted the stud. Combination of both of those was enough for me to give up. Sometimes you're just flogging a dead horse.
