1965 Honda Cub - First Start In 50 Years!!
Рет қаралды 59,200
3 жыл бұрын1965 Honda Cub First Start In 50 Years! In the shop is this sweet old Honda that has been sitting since 1975 in a warehouse that I have been tasked with making run again! This bike was very complete and original so it didn't put up much of a fight to make run again. In this video I document my process of examination for the critical systems and perform the necessary work to bring this beauty back to life!
Some things I didn't show in the video include a bit of carb tuning for smoother performance along with a spark plug change to get an accurate plug reading. I also installed a proper 6v battery which allowed for full system functionality including the electric start! This thing was such a peach and jobs like this really make me enjoy what I do! The bike is now with its owner and will likely be for sale soon.

I delivered news papers on one of these. My Dad bought it in 1965 for Me at 14 yrs old and I rode the wheels off of it and sold it in 1967 and bought a CL77 305 scrambler and Man did I have a Hot Rod Then. That Cl was My first real Motorcycle and I will never forget it! I'm 72 and still ride every chance I get!

In 1965 my dad took me to Warren Arkansas . And got me one of these Honda 50 . I call it a step in . I still remember what he paid for it 350. I rode it for three years,sold it and went to Howard griffin in Monroe Louisiana and got a cb160 , will always remember that feeling when I rode it.good memories

Not 100% sure if this applies, but it is my understanding that older bikes used the battery as a buffer to limit voltage peaks from the alternator. Revving the bike without battery in the system can cause lights to burn out due to voltage spikes. Take it for what it's worth. Good video.
@BrickHouseBuilds 3 жыл бұрын
You are 100% correct and ultimately that is likely what caused that issue. It also didn't help that I hooked a 12v battery to it briefly before I remembered it was a 6v system lol. I make mistakes sometimes.

Correct... I remember the Honda 305 scrambler I owned. If you ran it without a battery it would blow out the rectifier.

Batterij flattens out the voltage that without battery or capacitor would take the diode throughout the complete half sine wave, Meaning that current and heat dissipation throughout diod(s) are continuous instead of just part of the time! Just like cars: running without battery Will kill the diods of the alternator, meaning standard exchange because diods not available as separate unit

I had a 1965 one of these in 1971, when I started work here in England. It was 2 tone blue and was bomb proof. No electric start on the UK version though.The only thing that happened was the chain joining link broke. Apart from that, it was my 'trusty steed' for 2 years untill I passed my driving test. Great little bikes - brought back many happy memories

I had a 1966 model identical to this, except no electric start. Like others mentioned, they do need a good 6v. battery for the ignition and lights to function properly. I got mine in 1972, and it had only been sitting for a few years in a neighbors garage. It had 372 original miles, and I practically wore it out riding around the local trails!😁

Had a completely white Honda cub. At 14 I rode it into the ground. Lost my keys but my dad's friend Rod took me downtown New Orleans. Thanks Rod. Wound up painting it chocolate brown. Wore it out. Don't remember how I got rid of it. Next bike was a Honda Hundred. Traded it for a crappy car. Third bike I owned was a Honda 360. Traded it for another crappy car. Rode a bigger Honda and almost bought a C.B. 750. God, I miss riding.

Love watch you work on these bikes. Most I have either worked on or ridden. I think the most produced motorcycle was the Honda CB350. That bike you just worked on just has a. Rectifier and needs the battery to keep the voltage down . Without the battery the light bulbs will burnout and the lights will go out if the engine stalls at a light. In the dark scary thought.

How common is it to see these on the streets in the US these days? They're everywhere in many Asian countries and are selling incredibly here in Japan. I think it recently got bike of the year. The new Hunter and Cross models are really cool. I especially like the Super Cub C125.

Well thats hard for me to say as I don't live in an area where there are many people riding scooters. In the nearest city I wouldn't expect to see many vintage ones

I have one of these, I live in Canada, I have never seen another one on the road. I would say it's not well suited to modern traffic, it's WAY too slow. You have to take side streets, otherwise people honk at you and pass you on the shoulder etc, of course you're going flat out, but they don't know this.

What solution do you use in your ultrasonic cleaner?
@BrickHouseBuilds 2 жыл бұрын
Water, half gallon of mean green cleaner, a few squirts of dawn dish soap. Been doing 50-55 celsius. Couple sessions of 10 minutes with scrubbing after the first round

Hey, I'm working on a 65 cub myself at the moment and I'm needing to replace the carb, any ideas where I can find a matching one to the one in the video
