Anorak's Corner / Cleaning Engine Internal parts.
« on: October 03, 2019, 04:30:08 PM »
Afternoon all,

I have been given quite a few boxes of 400/4 engine parts, the chap had stripped down about 3 engines. A lot of the parts has got slight surface rust. My question is what is the best method in cleaning them up, I am cautious in using abrasives as being machined engine parts. My thought was too soak them in diesel then use a old tooth brush, degrease them to wash off the diesel. Then give the a light spray of oil and bag up in poly bags.

I would really like to know what you experts suggest.

Cheers Dave

CB500/550 / Electric Start
« on: June 09, 2019, 11:24:55 AM »
Morning all,
CB550F
Tried starting the bike the other night, electric start started turning the bike over then suddenly stopped working, I thought it was a flat battery as I had not started the bike for sometime. Took the battery off today to charge it up, charged okay, put back on bike but still no life in the start button. When I do press the button there is just a flicker of the neutral light.

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

CB350/400 / Pressed Number Plate Suppliers
« on: June 14, 2018, 05:27:49 PM »
Evening all,
I guess this has been asked many times before but I shall ask again. I am after a yellow 9" x 7" (ish) pressed number plate for my 1975 400/4. Who is the most reasonable supplier these days, I would prefer a supplier with an order online website.


Cheers :D

CB350/400 / How much paint.
« on: June 10, 2018, 08:31:54 PM »
Evening all,
I am considering spray painting my 400/4 tank and side panels and wondering what quantity of Varnish Blue paint I would need.
I am thinking of getting the paint from RS Paints, are they okay or are there better suppliers around?

Cheers in advance
Dave
