I've been wrenching on bikes for 55 years or more, and I often forget how much of a challenge it is for other guys to figure this stuff out. It comes easily to me and also to Craig. His videos are as close to the real thing as any other channel I've seen. Since it's still cold here in the northeast and my garage is detached and I don't have heat in it, I enjoy watching these videos to keep my mind sharp and thinking logically. "Stumped To Pumped" is a GREAT catchphrase to use in this kind of video.

Impressive how quick that thing fired up, he barely touched that starter button. Definitely a Honda. I recently had one of those "little things you find in the manual" moments when I had the primary cover off my 70's Triumph. When I put it back on I went to the manual and it said the primary holds 350cc's of oil, so I put 350cc's of oil into it. For some reason that effected the clutch operation. I went back to the manual and found a paragraph that said when you empty the primary of oil you should prime it with 120ccs of oil.... so don't put the full 350cc's in because small holes in crankcase will eventually level it out to where it needs to be. Once I emptied it and put the correct amount of oil in, everything worked as it should.

Always great to see you get another bike on the road. Can't wait to see this completed by the owner - you really need to have a follow-up video with the bike all done. One comment: solder is not a mechanical connection. Before you get much further, take that wire apart, twist them together, and re-solder them. Future you will thank you. Ask me how I know that.

Ouch man that first 45 seconds hit me in the feels lol, my first bike was a 1984 cb650 nighthawk that had been in a fire, my dad and I fixed it up and did the paint with a pearl blue with a metallic black center stripe down the center and that bike was a beauty. I used it to learn to ride, took my road test on her and took it up to americade for my first motorcycle rally as a rider. Great motorcycle sounded great with a 4 into 1 exhaust and she looked sweet. Definitely a great choice for a first bike for me.

@@jessegalvan4655 that's very true I mean when I got her the whole thing was covered in just flat black primer trying to hide the fire damage, It was probably the fact my dad and I tore it down and cleaned her all up and restored her for my first bike just a good project between father and son. It really made me love the bike more and more to go from a ratty burned up bike to a beauty my dad and myself did to getting my road test on it. Some probably thought man that's a ugly design for a bike but she was my baby and loved everything about her. But customizing her to make her my own was a blast. So your probably 100% correct about that being in the eye of the beholder she may have been not the best looker but in all my memories about her she was a beauty to me lol
