Hi all,
I have been snooping around the site for a few days and this looks like a great resource.
Last Friday I picked up a '71 CB 350 twin for $775 and towed it home. The bike is pretty complete, but wasn't running. The kid had the carb linkage all screwed up and the r-side intake valve screwed down so tight that the right cylinder was only showing 25 psi (compared to 150 psi on the left).
After setting the linkage right and setting valve clearance and timing it now fires on first kick (or the slightest touch of the starter button) so I'm feeling pretty hopeful (check out the video below).
I searched the archives a little, but couldn't quite find an answer to a question I have. I have the metal fork sleeves, and I was looking to replace them with rubber gaiters, does anyone have any info on that? Common? Easy? Part numvers?
I'm glad to be here and hope to learn from y'all.
