royhall:
Fantastic build Dave looks really spot on.
Did you manage to find the correct wiring diagram. I have a UK 1967 Black Bomber and the manual shows a diagram for that year. Unfortunately it shows only one coil and one set of points. As it's a 180 degree crank is that even possible? The wiring appears to have changed year on year. Do you by chance have a wiring diagram for that year and model.
Also, I was considering doing a build thread as I have only just got started on the Bomber but didn't really want to duplicate what Dave was doing. Does anyone have any interest in me doing a build thread?
Johnwebley:
great news Dave.
anyone back on the road

I would be interested in a build thread Roy as I still have my 1967 K0 Bomber engine to build up. A lot of differences, as you know between the 4-speed and the 5-speed ...for instance crank is a totally different design. Plus I really enjoyed your build thread on the CB350F
Dave : looking spot on you should be proud...what's your next one going to be? ;D ;D
MrDavo:
Many thanks for your kind comments.

If all goes to plan and the 911, currently at a specialist dealer, gets sold - big if, as due to #@%$ uncertainty I think, nearly all the classic cars for sale in November I've been watching are still up for sale - and if I can make a deal at the right price with the current owner, it will be this, a 1950's Alfa Giulietta Sprint. Worth a lot when done, it depends on what's missing or needs doing, the current owner is no mug and will have a good idea what it's worth, but it's going nowhere until I'm ready, I've been told. However that'll be a thread for another board if it happens. The CB750 K1 may have to go too if I need the garage space and cash.
Here's an immaculate finished restoration for sale, note the eye watering price!

I'd follow a thread on a 1967 Bomber rebuild Roy, as Ash says, many differences, sorry I can't help with a wiring diagram.
I had the CL450 running again this morning and once warmed up I got a nice strong tickover, but them as I stood back and watched the revs shot up for no good reason and I had to switch off! Not sure what that's all about, but fuel was dripping from the left hand carb. There seems to be a fine line with the float level between no fuel in the bowl and too much, I need to investigate.

Think you may have cracked it there Dave. Carb flooding will do that if the petrol gets high enough to start being drawn into the engine. Would go very rich but with no load on the engine it will rev.
