Ca77 Rewire + ignition switch ?s

A rewire is in the near future for my dream. And I like to get all my ducks in a row before I tackle a project. Everything looks to be rather straight forward except the ignition switch. Been searching as much as I can. http://www.honda305.com/forums/1965-ca77-ignition-switch-internal-contact-positi...

+1 on all the above. One step at a time. Get it running first. You can try tying your clutch lever closed to free your plates. Or if the lever won't budge either, disconnect it at the lever and lube it considerably. The brakes are going to be not the best. First step would be to disassemble, grease ...

what brand of tire? I noticed the same thing. I think I had some very vintage yokohama whitewall tires (for sale if anyone is interested, personally had them up to an indicated 80 mph!) and the steering feel very normal - put on some heidenaus and the steering is more like how you describe. Still, m...

Are you sure it's not still running rich? Float height doesn't effect the ratio, that's the mix screw and the jet's jobs. A low float height will run OK at lower throttle openings and like crap when you wack it. A correct float height will allow the most fuel into the bowl w/o coming out the overflo...

Having the exact same issues right now. New battery, new rectifier, low charge while running. As it happens I just picked up this neat book at a swap meet which has a section on testing the stator windings, as well as a shadetree fix. I haven't tried this yet, but figured it'd be useful to many. It ...

A low and terrible update: New battery. Started perfectly and ran great for 20 minutes, until it didn't. No power at the side of the road, horn, lights, nothing. Found my battery bubbling, warped and hissing, and had it quickly disconnected. Battery currently reads 11.5v though I'm hesitant to try a...

Anyway, here's what I did. I was faced with this problem initially, muffler bracket did not line up. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7085/7061403301_8d02a76ddb_z.jpg I thought about trimming the exhaust where it meets the header, but thought I should try the uncutting-of-things-route first. So I made ...
