Honda-SOHC

Hi,
Ok update. got the engine running, well running on one cylinder. the Left is purring like a cat the right nothing at all.

things i have checked
1 spark ....yes
2 fuel ... yes plug is wet when i take it out
3 swapped around plugs still the same
4 swapped the diaphragm from each carb
5 cleaned all jets
6 points  gap checked more than once
7 used a bulb on the points to the left and light comes on when LF on stator
8 if i rev it up i get a bake fire on the right once
9 can the engin run like this with the cam in 180 degrees out?

fed up as i am nearly there

Hi,
I think I have put the cam back in correct,,,,,,,,, but is there a way to make sure. I have turned the roto around by spanner and not valves hitting the piston. but doubt has crept in.
I do know where TDC is but how do i know when TDC on the compression stroke is?

Hi,
I am confused...I have just bought a pair of forks that were off a K5 when they arrived they looked like they were for twin disc. the screw holes for the disk on the right side have never been used. are theses correct or should the right leg be plain?

Billy

Alan,
i rang the Ashford guy, £350 for the rear mudguard (in his dreams) so now i have posted it to Bob Cooper of Chrome Restoration Services
Coventry. the quote was 85+vat + any repairs. as there is two areas of bad rust/hole.
so when i get it back i will post the pics and prices.

Billy

thanks i will give them a try

a bit of colour sanding with 2000 grit

Bike goes great, it must have been binding a lot as now it takes far less revs to move off. great
