I need a cb77 starter clutch assembly

My '62 cb77 hasn't had a starter clutch for at least 40 years. I found one on ebay recently that is attached to a corroded rotor that looks like it has been under water for a long time— super rusty.

I understand that later cb77 starter clutches are interchangeable for use with early models.

I need to buy the whole assembly complete with screws.

Does anybody have this part for sale?

You can use the starter clutch assembly from a CA77/CA72 Dream. They are the same. Rotors are faced differently with the timing marks for the 180 vs 360 cranks.

Oh that's great, Tom— I can widen my search further!!

Thank you for passing this on to me and the others.

Oooh— I just found a '62 CA77 rotor/starter clutch on ebay and got it for $35~ Yay!!

You're welcome. I should have noted that when you asked if a '64 CB starter clutch would fit on a '62 CB. I hope you receive a serviceable part.

It looks pretty good by the photos the seller provided— I hope so too, Tom!!

I have the original rotor that came with the bike. My grampa got it in the mid-70s in a derelict semi street/trail-bike state~ 38T rear, CL starter-delete plate, MX handlebars, no front fender, ugly beat-up holey shock absorber tins, nasty mufflers I should have kept(!!), missing one air-filter and a sporting a cracked RH case.

In '75~'76 I put a Uni foam-filter on it and replaced the rings, plugs, points and condenser then gave it a 50 mile test-ride. I haven't ridden it since— I doubt that my grampa put many more miles on the engine after he got it from me!!

It was also missing the choke-linkage for the right carb, tool-box, side-panels and chain-guard. My grampa gave it to me about 20 years ago with a water-filled perforated gas-tank. Only just this week got I tires, Dunstalls, air-filters and a battery. It looks like a motorcycle now!!

I used to think it was an UGLY bike, but since then, I've learned about the bike's historical significance. I think it's pretty cool now!!

In the last 10 years I've painted it and gotten lots of essential parts from the forum members~ especially from LM, e3Steve, georGe and FastFred. I really appreciate the help I get from this forum!!

Sounds like you and that bike have some history. Good luck and have fun!
