Yes, the rotor should have two sets of timing marks. I can send you a correct rotor. You'll need a flywheel puller to remove the old one, and you'll have to switch over the starter clutch parts. Does this sound like something you can do? Dustin's a good guy. We spent many a Saturdays bringing his vision to life! I work in Brisbane, right by Candlestick, and drive my pick-up in most days.

Jerry, are you sure your "right" points fire your right cylinder?

Good question, I'll check that out later today. I know that when I pull the left plug wire the engine keep running but dies immediately when I pull the right. I'll check those points to see whats doing. GOOD NEWS though, I just got back from a ride and the clutch broke loose after about 3 miles. I'll try it tomorrow to see if it stays free, and I think I'll change the oil again while it's still warm. I don't want to run it too much on these old tires but I will have to see how long before Coker gets the repro whitewalls, maybe by early '12. I'd rather wait for those instead of portawalls.

I'm going to advocate for the portowalls. I'm telling you. If you get them you will not regret it a bit. I haven't. More info if you're interested.

late CA77/CA78 numbers?

Post by bearthompson » Wed Dec 28, 2011 10:54 am

My Honda 305 Dream is titled and licensed as a 1968, and bears serial number CA78-1034104. I'm curious to learn whether this means it was among the last 305 Dreams manufactured. Does anyone know where the serial numbers stopped for Honda 305 Dreams? Thanks.
