cl175

Hello, when i got my bike, the points housing was cracked and repaired with jb weld or something. I got a used one and replaced it, then there was a very slight oil leak coming from what i thought was the gasket behind the housing. so i removed again and replaced the gasket, then there was a...

Hey guys, my cl175 suffered an oil seal failure (oil poured out of the left side when i parked after riding for about a mile, hopefully no further damage :oops: ), so i started taking the engine apart to clean, replace screws, gaskets/seals etc, and I noticed these cracks on the stator rotor...

Hello everyone, I've had my carbs tuned on my bike before and it was a pain in the ass. Now I've done my 1500 mile service again, I.E valve adjustment, cam chain adjustment, points gap and timing adjustment. For the life of my I can't seem to get these carbs tuned right. In located in central...

Hey everyone, so today I was going to adjust my valves and the exhaust side tappet cover on the left side of the bike was a pain in the ass to remove, and I resorted to my 6 point 19mm and my 1/2" drive rachet. Well I was really pulling and it just wouldn't come off, so I got my breaker bar and...

Hi team, I've not rebuilt a lot of motorcycles and never had this issue before. I'm wondering if my CL175 head is wasted or not. One cylinder has some rust and pitting that is present in the head as well. I was planning on sanding down some of the rough spots and grinding in some fresh...

Hey y’all I’m extremely close to getting my 1971 CL175 road worthy and my last little bit is figuring out an exhaust setup. The PO cut the muffler off so it’s running on just the headers (cut right after the heat shield). I have NO experience with exhaust and am looking for a “cheap” and “easy”...

Howdy! Anyone know what size bolt and washer mount the passenger foot pegs?

Hey Honda twin Gurus, Hope you all have been enjoying the holidays as much as possible in these times. I’ve been having a blast with my 1972 CL175K6 in the balmy coastal Texas weather aside from dealing with the rain days. This morning headed home I started the bike up and when I went the...

Hello good people. I'm looking for expert advice to solve issues with my carburators on CL175 (1968). Couple of problems, 1. Idling not always the same, it could die easily or some times engine is hunting. It gets better after run, but in my view bike only really goes in forth and fifth gears...

I found and started to work on this bike in late 2020 after it was parked in the early 90s and hadn’t moved since. It was stored indoors but most importantly no one had touched it since then. No one had tried to half fix it, gave up, lost parts, etc. so it was a great find. I started mostly...

I searched but couldn't find any comments on this topic. Sorry if I missed it. Right turn signal on a CL175 was bent and that caused the mounting point on the headlight bucket to be deformed, bent inward so that the turn signal mounting rod is now at a sharp angle to bike and bucket. I need to...

So my 1972 CL175 will start and idle fine, but just feeling the left and right headers makes it obvious that the left cylinder is not firing. The left header gets warm, but not nearly as hot as the right header. Things I have done diagnostically: - I DO have spark at the left plug. - with the...

I'm back to working on my old 1969 CL 175 K3 and hung up trying to remove the exhaust pipes. The factory manual says they welded them up to assure better performance.(??) Specifically it looks like they welded the two pipes together via a mounting bracket just in front of the muffler. The...

Hey everybody, I finally got my bike all assembled and after geting it started for the first time last night, it was able to run for a few seconds if I stay on the throttle but it would then die out and made a sort of squeak that I don't know how to go about diagnosing. I will post a video of my...

After spending my shop time last winter on two non-Honda bike projects and getting a START on my CJ 360T project (which I will spend more time on next winter) I decided to get a start on what will be a MAJOR rebuild of a '69 CL175 K3. I mention all of this to indicate that I'm not in a hurry...

I have recently rebuilt my cl175 engine and I am getting ready to start her up for the first time and I am hoping for some advice on what to do before that first crank of the kickstarter and then once its running and the timing and carbs are adjusted, how do I break in the engine? how should I...

5-years ago, I was knee-deep into a CB350 project that I had begin to acquire in pieces, and I made the mistake of buying a frame and engine with no title. As it turned out, I was able to sell off the pieces of the project when we moved from Iowa back to Illinois and took residence in a 50-year...
