Another thing I learned, is when you first start up the bike, feel the temp of the exhuast headers... they should feel the same temp, equally as it warms up... if not, they are not burning equally.
your videos have been inspiring me to get my hondamatic running! its not getting spark and im running out of things to replace haha... great videos keep them coming!
ps.. grab some "open" exhust pipes for that bad boy it will sound even cooler and give you extra hp and when you open it it up on the road it will scare the crap out of you! =P
Great work gearhead48 ! Trust me it will be worth riding that old bike (I) we... do the same thing fixing old stuff. Yes i have a newer harley but i all so have an 82 honda cb450 that I love. my newest project is restoring an old "iron head" harley motor to build a custom bike =)
Thank you for not doing the usual youtube douche' bag thing of pegging the throttle.
Most of the honyonks around here would have firewalled the throttle and damaged what they just had been working on, irregardless of how long it had been sitting

Did you set the float height? that part is the most important part, else, you will be pulling it appart again.

I got to much time and money in it to blow it up now. I have 6+ hours in the carbs alone.
