Not charging?

I've upgraded my CB77 over the years to include a Boyer power pack and a German electronic ignition system. It's been just perfect for a long time but it's now started to cut out after maybe 8 miles from being started on a charged battery. When it stops it seems to be that there is no spark but when...

Thanks G-Man, will have a go later. The prices that people are asking for the ones that I've seen available are eye watering.

I have a spare but it's one of the earlier ones where the tachometer and speedo needles go in opposite directions.

CB77 speedo cluster

After getting my CB77 up and running again after winter and for MOT I've found that the speedo and rev counter are acting crazy going in bizarre directions and hitting full scale at low speed. Now the speedo works but the rev counter doesn't. Is this normal behaviour, is it fixable and are their any...

Scott Phil had a CB77 motor with one of these transmissions in it along with a NOS crank at the recent Classic Motorcycle show in Stafford near my home. It looked very good but I'd want a whole bike for that money. Bernard Saunders does a racing version. I'm think of building a 350 street bike with...

Any engineer will know that the development of lubricants far outpaces the development of engines. I wouldn't trust any engine of mine to somebody who would put hinge oil in it rather than a modern quality lubricant on the basis that he knew best. LM, why would you use such an antiquated oil spec wh...

Would you say VALVOLINE 30W ND is LOW QUALITY?. ............lm No LM, what I'm saying is that using mono grade oil is just a poor quality choice for any bike. Also that using a non-detergent oil is a poor quality choice and that not moving with developments in lubricant technology is a low quality ...

Sorry gents, I didn't mean Honda recommended changing a straight 30 grade non-detergent oil at 300 miles only if that I were to put such a relatively poor quality lubricant into my own bike on which I don't do many miles, I'd change the oil every 300 miles as all of my friends do and swear by it. I ...
