Re: 65 CB77 rear fork reassembly

These washers go as far to the outside as possible. That is, on the outsides of the aluminum foot peg mounting brackets. Like most washers they go right under the bolt head and the nut.

Re: Why does that happen?

Thanks Michael, I forgot the plugs can also the resistor type. The caps I’ve fitted are non resistor type but I believe they should be 5k ohms. All of the ignition parts for bikes (and cars) at the time were non-resistor. I'm amazed that your C95 works as well as it does with the resistor style par...

Re: C95 bearing rumble

Looking at the video, it's clear that the play is in the bearing, No big surprise there. According to my parts book the bearing is a standard 6306 ball bearing. These numbers are meaningful an upon looking it up ( http://www.engineerstudent.co.uk/bearing_numbers_explained.html ) it appears that it s...

Re: CB77 Jets for 5000' Elevation

Interesting question. I'm not aware of anyone changing the slow jet. This is probably because adjusting the mixture screw should take up any reasonable variability in air pressure. There is no similar adjustment for the medium and high speed circuit; you have to change the high speed jet and adjust ...

Re: C95 bearing rumble

In your position I would be a bit concerned about maintaining the shaft alignment. The centre axis of the crankshaft needs to be as close as possible to being co-axial with the centre of the bearing. Otherwise the shaft will wobble and at the very least cause significant vibration but the consequenc...

Re: Still running rich at 5,000 ft elevation w/ smallest jets

I think you have a problem that isn't due to jetting. The standard main jet size is #135 and the slow jet size is #42 which are both much bigger than what you are using. Since both jets meter fuel (not air) your engine should be running very lean. You should check that you have the correct needles w...

Re: Engine paint, grease gun, etc

Believe it or not, an ordinary automotive grease gun will work quite well. However, buying a grease gun and cartridge is probably overkill as your heirs will likely end up with a grease gun in great condition along with a 90% full cartridge. Commonly people use a pressurised can of grease which you ...
