Hi Again

Well Panic over...... it is indeed just a circlip and washer on the sprocket side that holds the shaft in as just watched a YT video
of the CB450 and they put the Gearbox all in and the bottom half of the engine casing on and then put the gearshift in last... Wow thats a load off my mind ha........ so tomorrow I can go in the workshop and hope to get it all back on ....... 

 

Hi everyone

Well lets start off with some good news... all the parts turned up today from DSS..... so thought well I have a week to the show so I will make a start and get them all in..... all was going well as removed the clutch and oil pump etc, put in the new Detent first all fine then thought oh need to remove the gearshift shaft to put the new spring on so taken off the gear leaver  and started tapping it though did not think anything was holding it in so I am sure I heard something in the gear box rattle as tapping it out so stopped where I was....... SO OH dear is it me or have I done something I should not have done ? 

please say keep Knocking it out as that was the gears rattling around..........(Bet its NOT MY LUCK tho) as if Not I give up like Ashley said thought I had just got a restored Bike I may have been better getting a Basket case the Amount of work I have done on it.... thought I was Nearly all there ...... if you say the Engine has to come out or at least got to split the bottom off I will just give up I Think...as just Not had Much luck ha 

Hi Ashley


Well yeah it was meant to be all done but as we know there is restored and just Tried too ha I got that one  LOL.

I made a tool up today just like the one you showed.... Not much of a good bit of welding as I only have one which don't use Argon gas so it is spits and spatters  But Ha Ho it done the Job so got one off try the other tomorrow and yes heat was needed too the heat that is.

If you can get any of them kits Ash I would be most Grateful.......  A Bit of a B*gger to hear that at that 4.000 res they had the problem ha just as Mine seem to just not want to get up and go and when you are in todays Traffic and need to get away it just go`s dead is Not good........... so anything that will Help id most Grateful.

Cheers

Hi Ash

Well what can I say to that but oh Dear....... so the kits what Roy and I got don`t come with the needle Holder and the slow running jet and the pilot Jet I think were the same as Standard which i think in saying was a 35 and 38..... but can`t remember as I just put them in thinking they were the right ones.. But Roy might Know better ?

but as I say they did Not include the Needle Holder anyway...... so I am stuck Now Ash ha

I did when I got back was check Ign Timing ...the next I was going to look at was the Cam lobe clearance but did Not do that yet but if you say that was a thing that Honda offered them kits must have been a problem then ha   :'( so at that Rev`s do you think it is getting too much fuel or Not enough ?

and Not even DSS say they are No longer about


oh well next thing is the forks got to be stripped as also have wet oil stained jeans as lots of fork oil leaking ...... and wanted to be fit for the show on the 23rd this Month  :'(


oh has anyone got one of the rear tank rubbers.............as I was wondering why the tank keep moving about which is Not good ha ?

Cheers

Hi Ash

if you look at the picture I put on from the Pirates.... I have ordered all of the ones you have said about so will be looking at all of them when they do turn up oh the N0 5`s I did Not order as yes they are inside so hope I don`t have to go there  ...I am Not taken it apart till they get here as I want to use it to the little show if I can... but I will get on to it soon as ............ thanks Again as we all need help if we Not used to the bikes we have just got and all on the Honda site has been a real source of inspiration.

Keep up the great advice for us all.

Cheers Mo   

Great Thanks Ash for that.

I will have a look at it tomorrow and I have a small headed Magnet if needs to be to get down the bolt Hole, as I say I have the No 12 spring but will look at the 8-9 first before I go any were else...... as i have already last week took the casing off as I said before I put a new Clutch in with new springs which were EBC ones which they said were 15% stronger....... that when I got my cases back from spraying and fitted them in with the clutch new clutch plates and it so heavy, so last week as I say took the case back off and fitted the old springs and it is fine now...... just wish I had known More about the 2nd gear Problem while I had that to bits I could have checked that all out while that was off ha

Cheers Mo   

HI

Well with the Help of the guy`s on here I have finally got the bike out for its first run today, first went to petrol station to get fuel only about a 1/4 of a mile from me it went fine, filled her up pulled away and it was good for about a mile and it went on one cylinder made it back home and it was the right spark plug and they are both New ( Now got two more cumming ) so I hope that was it....... but the thing that got me is the Gears it`s ok going up to top but when you come down the box it seems to go from fourth to third ok then seems to jump second and go right down into first gear ...it don`t do that all the time tho now and again......... I have Not touched the Engine well only to put a new clutch in but the bloke I got the bike off said it did Do that but I could not try it out at the time as it was Not running..... do anyone know what it could be ?............as don`t fancy taken the engine to bits after doing all what I have done to it ?

Cheers

Mo
