Hi
Thanks for the suggestion, I have found a set of videos on YouTube from a guy in Texas.
He works with these old Hondas and the business name is Classic Octane.
He has a full strip and rebuild film and a balancing film, can't recommend these enough for anyone starting out working on these bikes

I know his vids. The guy is not very accurate. For example: he shows how to set the ign. timing, but does not tell, one has to check/(re)adjust the contactbreakers gap first. The German is very precise. Let me know when you are about to reassemble the parts you've shown in the first pic and start wondering at how many turns those little bolts have to be. It is important to arrive at a good basic setting later on.

oldtuggie:
Ok cheers

Sesman:
On the topic of Classic Octane, I notice he bench syncs his carbs with an 1/8th” drill bit from the choke side (eg slide cut out side) rather than engine side. Is that correct?

Either side is fine but it's a lot easier going in from the non choke flap side. I've never understood why anyone would even consider going in from the choke side 🤔🤔🤔🤔
