I Broke The Camshaft On My Honda CB200T #motorcyclerewind #vintagemotorcycles #CX500turbo
In this episode of Motorcycle Rewind, we finally ride the Honda CB200T. This has been a rollercoaster of a build. Discovering we had a stuck valve and a smoked cam. Struggling to siurce an affordable cam. Replacing cam and valves only to break the end off the camshaft trying to fix an oil leak. To source another cam, to replace it. Now to finally ride it.

This is all so familiar. One of my first bikes was a Honda CB250T with a "rebuilt" engine. Turns out, over-enthusiasm with the silicone gasketmaker blocked the oil from heading up to the head. Smoked the cam lobes and the bearing surfaces, even wore almost all the way through the cam followers...and that was just on the ride home. The pain is real.

That brought back memories, the CB200 was my first bike and I wish I still had it. Yours looks much better than mine did, I brought mine with a matt black hand painted finish and a coil that would zap me on my leg every time it rained! Happy days.

Those are fun little bikes. Once you get the carbs worked out it'll be a ripper. I recently put some Ebay 50 dollar Russian carbs on my 70's Triumph T140... kind of as an experiment/diagnostic tool. Turned out they worked great once I got them dialed in. I had to move the needles all the way down. They came with needles in the top slot, which ran like crap, but as I moved them down the bike ran better and better. Now I'm loving my cheapo Ebay carbs better than the expensive Amal 930 Concentric Premiers the bike had on it when I got it. Not all cheap carbs are the same though. If there's any Triumph guys reading this, they're called Pekar 68's and happen to fit on the old Triumphs with stock throttle cable and no modifications needed, which is why I grabbed a pair of them. They're kind of ugly though, compared to the Amal's.

This happened to my brother 175 too - he had a new part made and pinned into the existing cam

@dja1353 15 күн бұрын

This is what I have. The carbs look like mine. Kleins I think, with guillotine choke. My aftermarket pipes didn’t match right to left so I bought originals on eBay. This is how I learned about plug fouling, and pipe decoking.

Hello, some news about Belgian CJ 360... New discovery which is ...bad. Some material is missing on a camshaft bridge, letting a hole from the oil "tube" inside the bridge. Looks like new top end AND camshaft. It had been nice to have the mounting of the CB 200 on it. Lets go search money and pieces now.

@motorcyclerewind 26 күн бұрын

That stinks. Good luck in the search for the pieces and parts you need. Thanks for watching.

@donreed1133 26 күн бұрын

Glad you found a replacement. I had a hard time with the CB175 learning how to assemble the cam and cam journals so it wouldn’t all be in a bind! My 175’s problem wound up being poor spark when it sounded like that! The carbs wouldn’t adjust properly until I had a good spark. Those dang Chinese ignition points were crap! lol, I learned the hard way! Don

@motorcyclerewind 26 күн бұрын

This cam is a lesson in patience to install. I’m planning on checking everything, in addition to the carbs, to make sure it’s all good! Thanks for watching.

@aussiebloke609 26 күн бұрын

Lucky that second cam snapped when it did. It's a nasty feeling when stuff like that happens, but imagine if you were out of a ride when it went kablooie. Think you dodged a bullet this way - no collateral damage at least. PS: J.B. Weld to the rescue? I mean, that little end piece isn't under much load, so it's possible it would work. LOL

I definitely thought about doing that. If it were mine I probably would have given it a try. What’s the worst thing that could happen?

@dannyjamison8337 26 күн бұрын

If it was poorly cast, it would not still be around after 50 years. It broke because that small piece at the end is not designed to receive the type of load that was put on it. All it does is open and close the points and the only load it receives is the spring of the contact breaker points.

@@yomommaahotoo264 it did not break because it was poorly cast, it broke simply because it was cast and not forged. I don't know why you insist it was a factory defect, when you have nothing to back that up. Honda's standard for quality was world renowned, especially in those days.
