overheatingoverheatingmy 1964 cb77 is overheating on the right hand cylinder aftera rebuild, what can this be? The engine was in bits when I bought the bike.
HI, I BOUGHT BILL SILVERS ENGINE REPAIR & RESTORATION MANUALS & DID EXACTLY WHAT IT SAID IN THE BOOK. THE STANDARD BORES SHOWED NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF WEAR, SO I JUST REPLACED THE PISTON RINGS & I PUT NEW CAMSHAFT BEARINGS IN WHILE I WAS AT IT. I BOUGHT 2 KEYSTER CARB KITS, BUT THE BIKE WAS RUNNING TOO RICH, SO I CLEANED & PUT THE OLD JETS & NEEDLES BACK IN, CHECKED FLOAT LEVELS ( 22.5MM ) THAT SEEMED TO DO THE TRICK, BUT IT'S STILL GETTING INCREDIBLY HOT ON THE R/HAND CYLINDER, EVEN AFTER ONLY IDLING FOR 1 MINUTE, IN FACT SO HOT IT KEEPS MELTING THE EXHAUST PIPE/MUFFLER RUBBER SEAL ( I'M RUNNING OUT OF THEM ) I'VE CHECKED & DOUBLE CHECKED EVERYTHING, BUT TO NO AVAIL... SUICIDE SEEMS MY ONLY OPTION ...PLEASE HELP
