Honda-SOHC

I used Bryans method on two calipers that were seized and worked great, and piston comes out gently.

Still having issues. I put another clutch in and it is better but still seems to slip at higher revs. It's adjusted correctly and works smoothly. I did replace the springs with the correct length as the originals were extra long. Would using longer springs make it less likely to slip? Cable is new and correctly routed. Also not running right, when pulling away from a standstill it has a bad flat spot and will almost stall unless I give it loads of revs. Had a quick look at the plugs and very sooty. Carbs have been cleaned and synchronised.  Engine sounds a little flat when accelerating, not sure what to do next.

Still having issues with the clutch, slips badly if i feed the gas in too quick. stripped the clutch down and does not seem bad as in the plates not too thin. However the springs are longer than the manual states, but would that make it slip? I would have thought it would be the opposite. I do have another clutch I can try, and that has the shorter springs. At least I had a ride out and got home without an unplanned stop.

well that went well, not. Left the ignition on overnight, charged up and went for a short ride and going better and kept going until i stopped to investigate a noise ( chain catching on centre stand )  and then would not start. Also clutch slipping very badly. My partner had to come and jump me off ( no tittering at the back!). ho hum more to do, although its the original clutch so probably well past its best.

Lazarus is having a difficult birth. Can not get him to run for more than a mile or so before he gives up the ghost. Feels like fuel starvation, tried on main and reserve with same result. Tap has been rebuilt an tank cap is new. Also had a new plug go off so only 3 cyls until I put new plug in although the spark is not great looking when checked against the cylinder head. Coils are not great so might get some new ones as don't feel confident to do the Ash fix. Going to check fuel flow this afternoon and go from there. The only positive thing to come out of breaking down is a couple of people stopped to check I was OK and liked the bike!

Recieved my exhausts yesterday and very pleased, well packed and next day delivery for £950. A very comprehensive kit including all brackets and clamps plus exhaust to head clamps and gaskets. Even noticed the rubber stop for the centre stand. Will fit them once I get Lazarus properly sorted, living in my bedroom til then!

Dont worry Bryan I have a spare if I need it.

all dry under the sprocket cover, all new seals etc.
