In this video we rescue a 1971 Honda CL 350 scrambler that has been sitting for years. They are actually 325cc with a five speed manual transmission.

The squeak is the 'sprag' or one-way clutch that grabs to turn the crankshaft using the starter motor, but slips otherwise(over-runs). It likely needs to be cleaned and oiled. It is right above and forward of the flywheel where you adjusted the spark timing. Be sure to sync the throttle plates so they both start to open at the same time for best and most even performance. When you get them right, it will feel a LOT smoother. Bought mine new in 1970, so have a bit of experience. tom

That squawk sound reminded me of the bearings in the oneway pullstart spinner that squalls when a Briggs & Stratton starts up cause the ball bearings are dirty and dry and won't flee the grooves once centrifugal force tries to clear them from the sprag but it doesn't.

@GrumpyUnkMillions 2 жыл бұрын

@@moosehand8721 Yes it does. My memory is not exact on the sprag clutch, but I think it is on the crankshaft, otherwise, the chain from starter sprocket to the crankshaft would be turning the whole time the engine is running. There is a bit of oil in that case, but not much, so the lackj could very well make it squeaky.

@@vidguy007 that's awesome man. I used to take bike ride trip on my bike starting anywhere from 200 to 800 miles one way in t-shirt , shorts , & flip flops. I used to get some weird looks on the interstate cuz seeing a chubby fat dude on a bike & wearing flip flops too it's something you just don't see. I have to ride my bike with flip flops because i have big very very extremely wide feet sz15 6 EEEEEE wide with very fat wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe. My foot outgrew shoes , socks , & boots 30 years ago & flip flops is the only footwear that will barely and I mean barely fit on my foot because of my toes being straight across & wider than the flip flop straps. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a Happy New Year too.

Typical old tech Honda from the 1960's-70's. Show 'em a little love and they fire right up! The coating in the gas tank was there because the metal was getting thin. That was the case with the tank on my 1967 305 Dream. The bottom of the tank was "sweating" gasoline through the thin sections. I finally had to scout around for another. This was in the late 1970's so I found one pretty readily at bike junkyard 50 miles distant. Brought it home and cleaned it out thoroughly, painted it and put it on the Dream. It was just fine.

I just fixed the tank on a 71 Triumph that had at least 50 pin holes in the tank. I bondoed the outside, put 3 tank coatings on the inside and it doesn't leak a drop.

That was my first bike. It was orange. I got the bike from my dad who got it from a coworker who ran into a tire on the freeway and saw his life flash before his eyes. He decided he wasn't going to ride anymore. At that time it was about 5 years old and in perfect condition.

While I was in the Navy, I bought a 450 Honda from a friend for 600.00. I needed a new seat. I bought one and cranked it up and it ran great. I road it for 3 years then sold it before I got released. The man I sold it to changed it to a road racer. He sold it back to the man I had first bought it from and he changed it to a chopper. Tried to sell it to me for 600 to ride home on. I had already bought my ticket to fly home and couldn't afford to buy it.

You guys' videos make my day. City life is full of hustle and bustle, so its a challenge to appreciate the simpler things. Nice to see such a thing is still possible. BTW, the threads at the top of some of some spark plugs because some spark plug wires get attached with a nut in a few applications. Really appreciate the awesome content!

One of my favorite old bikes ..there was a difference in the engines ..although they all use the some components, the points are supposed to be set at 14000s the sl head had larger valves and a smaller combustion chamber the gearing between all the models was drastically different the CB had the highest gear ratio ..and the sl the lowest ..I built several of these bikes back in the day and managed to pull 106 mph out of a cb with an al head and the sl carbs jetting was a tad bigger .. the scrambler is the most desirable to collectors as it was a trail and street bike ..but mainly street ..any you scored a nice little bike ..
