Honda-SOHC

Not those no sorry mate, whats left ofvthe carbs is after rebuilding a mate of mines at work and comfys on here and to be honest is a load of not much, the mains just went to Roo but i know at least 1 has a float so must have needle

So, after all the fuss trying to get the right brake shoes turns out the brake plate was from a 550 (so the shoes I got were correct for that) but the wheels seem to be for a 650 and the two don’t appear to be compatible.

When everything was properly tightened up, the plate was rubbing on the hub rim, which explains why there was a washer inside pushing the plate away from the wheel hub, but that left a small gap which would have let moisture and dirt in I would think.

So ended up buying a 650 plate (with shoes) from eBay, which arrived today, and everything now fits properly!

Another learning experience!

Fun but could do without buying things that I don’t use. Hoping eventually to get some spoked wheels so will keep the 550 plate and new shoes I have in the hope I can use them on there.

Thanks for the kind offer Bryan.
I've been kept out of the man cave today as the O/H has a day off. I'll be back to restoration duties on Sunday and will try the spare valve and see how it goes. I may be in contact for bits if this plan fails😁👍.
You don't have a couple of the carb drain clips that fit to the swing arm pinch bolts do you? Happy to pay.
Cheers

Looks nice! Bright here up the other end of the country but windy and cold. Not a bike day.

Bright here now in the middle of the country but too bloody cold and windy for a bike ride, or a swim in the sea 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
