Tricks & Tips / Clean the inside of a tank with Caustic soda
« on: October 16, 2014, 10:47:16 PM »
Someone posted a thing about using caustic soda to clean the inside of a tank. I use caustic soda to soak carbs, that have come in from the states, so did not have to run out and buy some.
Had two tanks to do which were very rusty inside. Filled one up with a strong mix of caustic just to see if it would work. After 5 days is soak it had loosened some of the rust, but was nowhere near to what my standards are. I think this may work on flash rust.
Went back to my old way of 500g of ball bearings in the tank, and in the tumble dryer for 15 minutes. It was totally spotless in side as always.
For some reason i had a bag of small stone that they use in fish tanks. So thought on the second tank i would give that a try as it would be cheap for any members that had to do this job. Placed 2kg of fish tank stones and 3 liters of water, 15 minutes in the tumble dryer. The results were very good. Only one small problem was getting all the stones out of the tank.
When using ball bearing i just empty out what i can and the rest with a magnet.
When using a tumble dryer for this job, you have to wrap the tank in a blanket and pack the dryer out with pillows so the tank does not touch the side.

I would like views and comments on this F1>>   http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161449210360?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 
Never Restored one before so would not mind having a go. Engine is no problem but, what parts are wrong and non-original.
Love to hear you views members :)

Recommended Sources for Parts and Services / Bike courier
« on: October 07, 2014, 09:11:22 PM »
I use a lot of courier's to shift engines and bike about for me. Found someone that does this in a van and cheap (as long as your not in a rush).
So, i would like to recommend Mr Dave Pearson 07752267693, and i think £85 to move a bike form Bolton to Milton Keynes is a great deal.

CB500/550 / Engine Rebuild
« on: September 02, 2014, 08:22:01 PM »
I was going through some paperwork today because someone asked me how many CB550 engines i have ever rebuilt but, i have never had one like this. In this video you will see the how clean your engine should be before a rebuild ( i wish). This engine must be running on fresh Air>>>    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uc8uwRwF_U
O' and i love the way he puts the rocker arm in the wrong way round ;D

CB500/550 / Tank Decal 500K0
« on: August 09, 2014, 10:32:44 AM »
I can not find the answer to this question and hope someone may know. If a CB500K0 tank is Star Light Gold then what colour is the caution decal on top of the tank. Could be black or white. Honda is only listing one with a part number finishing in "A" which is white but, i want to be sure.

CB500/550 / Fuel gauge petrol cap
« on: August 08, 2014, 08:14:46 PM »
This is a nice bike but, i have never seen one of these petrol cap gauges on a 500 four. Some years ago i had a 400/4 with the same fuel cap. Any ideas if they were fitted as standard in any country?
Sorry,was on the phone and forgot to put in a link>>>  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1973-HONDA-CB-500-FOUR-500-4-9118-MILES-/301271859108?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item462533bfa4
