Ordering parts for a Type 2 engine

Post by Swampmanfl » Mon Jul 21, 2008 4:50 pm

I'm restoring my old 1964 CL72, Type 2 engine with a 305 cylinder head.
Engine# CL72E-4500061
Frame# CL72-64-4500061

I aquired this bike from an airman returning from Japan in 1966.
This Type 2 engine has only 1 ignition coil and 1 set of points.
I'd like to order an extra coil and and a set of points but I have not found a part number for them in the Honda Parts Catalog for the CL72.
I've tried to order on line from several parts houses by entering my frame and engine number but it is not recognized.

Are Type 2 engines rare over here?
I'd sure appreciate any helpful ideas.

Dave

CL72 Type II

Post by cbxmountainman » Tue Jul 22, 2008 12:29 pm

Usually the type II was for local consumption (Asia). I just happen to have a NOS Type II condensor that was on a type I CL77 I bought. Seller said it would only run on one cylinder. I took off the points cover and discovered two sets of points/coils etc and a Type II condensor. replaced with the correct one and voila' it ran on two.

That makes sense about most type 2 engines emanating from Japan.
I've located another type 2 coil with condenser. Are type 2 points interchangeable with type 1 points?

Thanks for the input, cbxmountainman

TypeII Points

I believe that the left side had the points if my old memory recalls correctly.

Ooops!! My factory service manual just showed the points on the RIGHT side. Sorry about that. Forgot I had the thing, but looked when I found it.
