Re-assembled with correct engine
I put this lovely old think back together over the last couple of days. Fortunately I had all the bits that were missing in my parts hoard including a freshly rebuilt engine. Runs great. Really needs a complete strip down and frame paint and new wheels, mudguards and muffler but I can’t be arsed to do another one so I’ve offered it for sale as is.
That’s it, I’ve had enough
After countless hours trying to get all the electrics to work I’ve given up. It’s now up for sale.
Front wheel lacing
Managed to lace the front wheel today unsupervised ? Got it to within 0.4mm runout ?
Electric Starter Fixed
I bought a rebuild kit for the starter motor. Glad I did. The end cap bush was oval. I found the reason it stopped working. Someone had over tightened the terminal post and torn the main internal connector off at it rotated. Replaced bothe bushes, brushes, lubed bearing and soldered the internal conductor back to the terminal post. Took we 4 attempts to reassemble, adjusting end float, until it spun freely with a bench test. Re-installed it and the bike fired right up, instantly ?
Worn Gear Change Spindle
Surprisingly, this still works. I think I will be replacing it shortly.
New Rims & Spokes
New shiny things arrived today ?
CB350 Tinkering
Got a few bits and bobs sorted this weekend.
New Arrival!
I part exchanged the Silver CG110 plus some cash his way for this beauty ?
CG110 leaves
And it was gone. I traded it on a 1974 (maybe 1973) CB350. The seller of the CB350 is Christchurch based so we both had to pay for shipping either way. Hopefully the sadness of seeing this one go will be followed by much joy upon the arrival of the CB350 on Friday afternoon.
1977 Honda CG110 Restoration Complete
Pretty chuffed with how this one turned out. I think it’s my new favourite ?
Great success ?
I managed to fix the neutral light. Pulled the sender out and stuck a screwdriver driver in the hole. I managed to rotate the contact back to where it should be. I’m absolutely chuffed to nuts I don’t have to pull the engine out and split the cases again. YeeeeeHaaaa ?
