CB350/400 / from wheel installing
« on: July 16, 2019, 10:22:06 AM »
Hi.
I've refurbed my front wheel and reassembled the axle. I don't know how much to tighten up the final nut which holds the assembly in place. I know that this nut and the other end are clamped by the front wheel retainers so it won't come undone but I think that overdoing it will affect the function of the speedo gear box etc.

CB350/400 / more front wheel bearing queries.
« on: May 30, 2019, 09:54:47 AM »
Regarding the spacer. It has flanges on both ends. Different positioning and slight difference in size each end. I remember reading that you should take a note about what way round it goes.

I didn't!!!!!!!!

CB350/400 / renewing front bearing
« on: May 29, 2019, 05:33:00 PM »
Hello again.

I'm preparing to replace the front wheel bearings. One of the workshop manuals says pack the bearings AND the hub with grease.

The ones I removed seem to be sealed and filling the hub with grease will take an hour. Also there was no grease in the hub when I took it apart.

CB350/400 / stripping black paint from chrome.
« on: May 29, 2019, 09:21:34 AM »
Good morning
I've just stripped black paint from men front rim. The chrome underneath isn't too bad with just a light showing of rust in places. 
I'd like to keep the rim. If I remove as much rust as I can would it be possible to stabilise the whole surface with something. Clear lacquer maybe.

Ps I've removed tyre and spokes.

CB350/400 / fuel cap.
« on: May 04, 2019, 08:27:20 AM »
I have just had my fuel cap re chromed. Looks great and I have the rivets to reattach it. Is a special tool required? The original was replaced by a bolt which looked shoddy. The rivet / pin was ordered from Silver and seems to just need a light punch on the end.
Any advice how to proceed please.

CB350/400 / Front forks /wobbly steering
« on: May 04, 2019, 08:18:50 AM »
Hello everyone.
I've removed my front wheel to investigate. Pads are good. bearings seem to be ok but how can I be sure? I noticed that with the wheel off the forks will rotate independent of each other . Is that correct. I always imagined that they would stay in the alignment they are in when the wheel is in place.

CB350/400 / oil from Dynamo seal!!!!!!!
« on: December 10, 2018, 08:55:43 AM »
Dear all.

More help  please. I recently changed oil , oil filter etc. New plug . I put a white surface under to check that there were no leaks. After a few weeks I noticed few drops of oil. It appears to be coming from the seal on the dynamo cover. I happen to have a spare but I was a little concerned about why oil should be coming from an area containing electrical components??

Any thoughts please.

Ricardo.
PS to Julie I haven't yet got round to that plug thing you advised me about  The current Mrs Ricardo has been away and I've had to feed myself which is quite time consuming. What shall I do now. The freezer is empty and I can't find the hoover????

CB350/400 / no power under load
« on: December 02, 2018, 09:56:28 AM »
Hi all.
I hope that you are all well and loaded with tons of advice for me about this problem

After I bought the bike I noticed that revs needed to be well over 3.5k revs to get moving otherwise the engine stalled.
Since then I've refurbed the carbs. Then had that awful problem fitting the airbag back but just about managed. Then off road a while whilst I changed oil and filter.  Turned over yesterday and whilst I didn't ride it the engine sounded rough and wouldn't tick over at low revs. Needed 3 k or so to keep going.  After I refurbed the carbs I replaced ignition with electronic and cleaned plugs and checked that they sparked. They did.

While keeping the engine running at over 3k revs I removed the number 4 plug ht connector. No change in sound or rhythm of motor. Ergo no 4 Not firing??

I replaced and removed no 1 lead and the engine just spluttered to a stop.

Help. How should I proceed. I'l buy new plugs and check that they all spark. what then

Help

« on: November 01, 2018, 05:20:49 PM »
Help. I have a newly chromed fuel cap and 2 new pins. 1 for the cap hinge and the other for the chrome catch.
How do you fit them. It seems like some kind of rivet

CB350/400 / multiple spares on offer
« on: October 29, 2018, 05:12:56 PM »
Hi all.
My bike came with a LOT of spare parts bought as a job lot by the previous owner and passed on to me.

I live SE London SE19.

If anyone wants to come and have a look then they will be welcome to take them away.

They include: A cylinder head with a box of valve springs which I suspect go together.....
A set of gears for the gearbox (of course) I've been told complete and look in healthy condition to me but hey I'm a doctor and don't know what healthy cogs look like.
Various electrical things such as a starter motor and condensers
a load of switches for handle bars.
Various other items  which if you want to look you are welcome to have.

I really don't want much at all for these but I'l happily let them go to anyone who makes an ordinary offer.  I won't be squabbling over small amounts.
Trust me I'm a doctor... This will hurt.
PS send me a personal message if you're interested

CB350/400 / front end wobble
« on: October 28, 2018, 12:13:15 PM »
Hi Ricardo here.

I'm moving on to sort this problem out. It's very noticeable at low speeds especially on cornering.
Front tyre nearly new and air pressure ok. It was initially a little flat and topping up the air made a slight difference.
It does need new front brake pads which I'll do as part of the front end work.
I understand that 1) wheel bearings 2) bearings etc in front fork and 3) front springs could  be the reason. How would you suggest I started diagnosing the cause.

Ricardo
