CB350/400 / Re: Transmission output shaft bearing removal
« on: Today at 08:26:27 PM »
That collar and bearing usually need a hydraulic press to remove and from memory there is a small cross section O ring between collar and bearing but its not shown in any books. Honda use to recommend changing shaft with bearing and the cost extra used to be negligable

In that cas the fuse box itself is suspect as the clips get warm, loose tension on the fuse end, get warmer still, melt the plastic and even the solder connections.
Also ignition switches have been known to give intermittent contact

It shouldnt, the only connection is through the small red wire from terminal with battery cable to fuse

In theory, with main jet removed it should push down from the top but i havent gone that far with pd carbs, i usually point blank refuse ro work on them.

Yes they are pressed on, is the bike going to be a daily driver high mileage or an ocasional weekend use?
If 1 i would pay out
If 29 i would put engine oil in them and if smooth and quietish use them as if it dont work you only need lower case off to replace and your time

Thats the big difference mate, old british iron was designed for ocasional sniff of the red but japanese was built to have its neck wrung, can remember the exact wording but the 500 owners handbook says it is fine to go into the red but not out of the top for extended periods!
