'65 sport65

Post by 3BeanCrispy » Thu Apr 24, 2008 10:21 am

i'm having such a good time with my CA77 that i picked up my next project already. It was a $108 ebay find that was local enough (3 hours drive) that i couldnt pass it up. my initial hope is to replace what's missing ( tank, seat, LS crankcase cover) and get it on the road for my wife to putt around with me on. Maybe this winter i'll tear it down completely and do it up right, they're pretty snazzy looking when fresh.
i had it sputtering for a few minutes the other day when i got it home, but am resisting the urge to tear further into it before i finish off my dream.
If anyone happens to have any of the 3 main parts i'm missing please PM me and we'll see what we can workout.

the first step is admitting your problem ... i AM a hondaholic. <laugh>
since thE original post i've aquired a ca95 thats almost complete, as well as a ca77 parts bike and a s65 parts bike. i think my wife would strangle me if i tried to buy another before getting any of them finished. if all goes well i should finish up my ca77 in the next week or 2 >cheers<.

i dig the seat, handlebars, and aircleaner on the 90. any of them original equipment?

the seat and handlebars are not stock. the air cleaner is missing the round chrome cover.

so you have 2 s-65's now? that little 65cc engine is amazing. i weigh 210 lbs, and i got it up to 50mph.
i haven't ridden the s-90 yet.

having a hard time getting this darned thing to run past a little puff puff here n there ... gunna grab sommore plugs tomorrow, think that might be my holdup at this point. cleaned the carb thoroughly, adjusted points gap/timing, adjusted valve clearances. there is spark, but it doesnt seem strong. worse case scenario ... anyone know what sorta compression this little 63cc should have? thanks in advance!
