CB350/400 / Re: Power consumption, E-ignition vs Points. also - spare advance cam?
« Last post by Mikep328 on Today at 06:27:48 AM »
Good points (NPI), thanks.  I readily admit that my interest in the OEM system is mostly "just because" it would be original. 

 I love mechanical stuff and the points appeal to me in that regard.  Yeah...I'm a "mechanical guy" not a smart guy!  :)  The point (again, NPI) about wear is, of course a really valid one and I have read about modern ignition condensers and points being rather poor quality compared to that of back in the day.  Then again, I don't ride my CB400 like I did back then when one motorcycle was my only vehicle so the wear quotient is pretty low in comparison.

Too much thinking - my dad would have said, "Install them or DON"T install them - make up your mind!"

Shouldn’t be a problem John booking now for next year. Having said that there is the island games held here next year 12 - 18th July not sure if that would be a problem for you.

CB500/550 / Float height 500 k1
« Last post by Honda enthusiast on April 29, 2024, 08:04:33 PM »
Hi all

Just thought I'd ask my floats are at 22mm and it's running very rich, I have Hendler carb kits on the way as I suspect a wire has been used to clear the jets....can anyone please confirm the float height...

Thanks 😄

Thanks for all your help,

Really helpful,

Thinking may/June time

Going to try and plan a route,

How easy is it to get B&B on the islands?

Or the mainland as well?

Nurse Julie, how are you doing. You did the camshaft on this engine a few years back.
Hi Archie. How are you, still fettling I see. Good on you.
