Why did Honda use cross head screws on their engine casings? I wonder if they were used to stop people over tightening them with sockets and that maybe they were meant to be renewed after a certain number of miles...
Hard to find experienced mechanics that know these old bikes.and will work on them.disscontinued oem parts does not help either.glad to see appreciation for vintage Hondas and other bikes .
I have a 69 sitting in my living room that I've had forever. It's just been art for the most part for a while until I watched you bring this one back to life. Now I have the urge to finish working on it and fire it back up. Thanks old buddy I needed that.
I love how you fix everything with basic tools on the cheap. You keep the old gear running and totally easy to tell what you are doing with out commentary. Probably one of my favorite channels right now. Keep em coming.
LOVE the video. No talking heads, jabbering, talking about what they're GOING TO DO, before they do it. Repeating titles. Being all dramatic about 'how tough' its gonna be to fix something that is 'so beyond dirty" they just dont know.. All the fake verbal crated reality tv style drama of people on youtube, with their endless minutia, diatribe, and tangents and diarrhea of the mouth.
Simon, love the channel and the content. Watching for about a month .Don't change anything. Going to get a cup of coffee and watch this video. You're doing a fantastic job.
this dude has incredible taste in vehicles. video after video it’s something i’ve always wanted to work on. especially the bullnose ford and this cb350. keep up the videos i watch them a lot
Thank you Simon for another fantastic video. I appreciate all the hard work you do in the repairs AND the filming. Absolutely the very best car channel on you tube.
I really enjoyed your video.. I am 65.. Just the way things had to be done in the 70s and 80s. Good days. And your job. Just brought back fantastic memories of my young days.. Doing just what you were doing with this old Honda.. I remember doing all this to a 1968. K4. Honda. In the early 80s. And I still work on bike like this.. Thank you kindly for great memories.. Good luck with the all that you do. God bless you and your family and friends. John from Lisburn Northern Ireland.
I still have my impact driver from the early 70's when I was a Honda motorcycle mechanic. 350's were incredibly reliable. The only work I usually did was tune-ups, tires and chain.
This is incredibly helpful for me, I have a 1969 Honda SL350 that I’m working on getting back on the road right now, I’ve been trying to get this dang thing figured out for about about 3 months at this point but you have re sparked my motivation to get it back on the road
By the way my bike hasn’t ran since 1977 and was originally brought to the United States from Vietnam after a US airman bought it there during the war.
Your channel is going to take off. Videos are great, love all the camera angles, and i like the no talking. Really relaxing and rewarding to watch. Keep it up.
Been wrenching on bikes for 0ver 40 years, started on these little CB's as they were stillkinda current then, had dozens over the years. Thanks for saving this one👍
Flipped a lot of those back in the day to pay my way through school. Once you get it started check to see if it's charging. The rectifiers on those would go bad, battery would go dead and people would just park them. New rectifier, clean carbs and some chrome polish and good to go! Very seldom did I ever have to do any serious work on them.
Excellent, takes me back to the late 60's, 70,s when you had to " mend and make do " I still do that now. The Tacho repair especially, also used tyres. So many people just throw things away today. Good work sir.
I just came to say that I am so impressed with your ability to put things back together. Tearing apart is easy, but reassembly is an art for some things. I would never have taken apart the tach and just bought a new one. Thanks for the awesome videos.
I enjoy your videos very much ,, I get to see a challenge tackled, problem solving WITHOUT half of the video talking about what is going to be done with poor attempts at stand up comedy !! This is refreshing no nonsense entertainment 😉👍🇺🇸
Wow, just discovered your channel!! New sub! So cool to see someone just getting it done the old school way, no drama, no worrying about gloves, eye protection, etc. This is the way jobs should be done and videos should be made!!!
That Galaxie is cool. I had a ‘66 4 door. Bought it from the son of the original owner and daily drove it for 8 years. Best car I ever had. Extremely comfortable ride as well. Take care man!
That's the most peaceful car/bike restoration channel here and also inspires people to do the same but i rather watch Simon restore things than i try to fix lol No talking, no music, just cool stuff being fixed! Keep rockin' and Greetings from Brazil, btw i love your trucks!
Just bought a ‘76 over the weekend for $200. This was super helpful. It’ll be my first bike so the informative part I’ll have to do some digging into but at least this will be a solid starting point. Beautifully shot. Well done
Your skill as a mechanic is very satisfying to watch. I learn things from you all the time. You make stuff look easy. Where when I look at some of the work you do , I think oh man uncharted territory.
I find working on older machines can be very therapeutic. You don’t need lots of expensive tools and, as long as they haven’t been totally abused, they’re usually not too difficult to get ‘em roadworthy. Nice video.
Really enjoy your video. The camera angles and editing gives a vintage vibe on good old hands on fixer. The type of scenes most guys look forward to in a movie scene when someone is fixing a bike. The asmr is very therapeutic too.
I had a shop for 15 years of restoring old bikes. I love it. One of my favourite was a 1969 honda cl 350,l rode that little bike everywhere. My other bike was a 1979 .triumph 750 bonnie. Old school bikes are the best. Nice video.
Good job Simon, your videos remind me of when I too did this with few tools and resources, but I liked Dodges and Jeeps... Your channel and videos are excellent, keep up the good work, all the best to you, Cheers .
I'm glad I found your channel, it's nice to watch such work and shooting style. You're doing great, the journey, difficulties along the way, breakdowns, repairs on the side of the road, it's incredible...
First of all, amazing job. Love the content. Been binging it video after video for days now. Second, I love how you edited the video to be faster when the tach didn't work after first install. Totally felt your frustration. It was amazing. Finally, I'm amazed that you can take on any job. It is brilliant. Keep up the good work.
Within the first few seconds, I knew I like how this guy rolls: backing up in an old Chevy pickup instead of a jacked up $75k truck says a lot about him.
I had one in the 80's and had a lot of fun riding beach trails for a couple of summers. Heck, I might still have the little tool pouch somewhere around here. Great video!
Simon I’m so glad UA-cam suggested your channel, it’s fantastic! Every time I see a new video was posted I get so excited, can’t wait for the next one 😄
Great Respect, Simon! I wish I had Your patience when I was Your age, Your knowledge and yes - Your talent. As a viewer before stated: the best wrech channel by miles.
I had a 73 when I was 15 had it till I was 20 1 off the best reliable bikes I ever owed I dirt biked it till I got my license at 18 put new pipes tires chain sprokeds rode it everywhere for 3 more years till I got cb 750 another great bike
Just discovered this channel today. I am binge watching all of it, great filmography and great mechanics work. You should be on Motortrend dude, making bucks.
My brother and I have '77 CB750 Four K. I can't wait to work on it and get it running since it's physically in great condition since it's here in Georgia.
Nice to see you cleaning out the centrifugal oil filter. I've worked on dozens of these bikes and the G5 and CJ successors in the '80s and into the '90s. The centrifugal oil filter often got neglected to the point where it completely filled up with crud and the bike died. Change the oil every 1500 miles max and filter every 2 changes and these motors can do high mileages. There is an oil strainer too. It's a mesh screen on the pump pickup behind the clutch cover (bottom right of the right hand side of the engine as you look at it. Occasionally the non-return valve on the oil pump gets stuck. It is a ball bearing backed by a spring. The spring can push the bearing into the recess in the seat on which it works so the valve stays open and starves the top end of oil. This can be fixed for good by machining up a replacement insert. I had a 250 version as my main bike in the late '80s and early '90s when them with money were buying Superdreams. Very cheap to buy at the time, parts were everywhere. Mine is in the shed with over 70k miles on the clock waiting for me to retire.
This era of honda's, some of them have oil pressure cam chain tensioners that show up from time to time. They always fail and cause the chain to cut into the cylinders until it breaks. The manual ones bolt into their place. The engine also has an oil filter on the end of the crank on the clutch side. It is very effective and has a little cover held in by a snap ring. Cleaning it takes lots of point cleaner and small screwdrivers to scrape the rock hard muck from the walls. It is centrifugal and has no filter to speak of. Be sure the little tension spring and washer on the cover is free as the pistons and crank oil through it. Those carbs will also fit the 450's as their carbs will have the "run on idle" after a while. The spark advance springs can wear out and setting the timing will end up not advancing leading to poor performance. Good work!
Very nice job! Reminds me of my son. Love the classic bikes. I worked in a Honda shop in the 70's. My first bike was a CB-750K. On anything aluminum cast, WD-40 and tap it first will usually break that corrosion weld lose on the valve adjustment and other screws. Aluminum is very suspectable to corrosion and electrolysis welding.
Great video! Saving for when I hopefully get to the 72 yamaha ds7 thats stuck thats been in my barn since the early 90s. You go over alot of the little things I wouldnt have even known about!
Bit of a jolt for me this one. It was like I’d been thrown back to 1975, setting off again with the best friends, the best riding and the best times of my life.
Leaving a second comment after watching the whole thing a second time. It's brilliant. Your videos just keep getting better and better and the growth of your subscribers is well deserved. I also quite like this bike and I hope you re-install the fenders, lights and indicators as I'm not too fond of the cafe-racer style as it is. Your uploads really are the highlight of my week. Thanks a lot.
I just want to say dude, you are awesome! Your videos are amazing and I love to see when you post new videos. I would love to do projects like this but I just don’t have the time right now. Your videos keep me inspired so I can one day have some time to do cool shit like this! Keep it up man!
I recommend a method to clean carburettors even in the most difficult corners where they cannot be brushed, disassemble the carburettor completely and put it in a metal container and pour Creolin and boil it for 5 minutes with the precaution that it does not overflow or make a lot of foam, as it is a product that foams very easily once the 5 minutes have passed the carburettor is completely clean and untreated in the event that there is an obstruction in any of the ducts. I like the videos you upload to the channel. Greetings from Argentina
9,000 redline on a little 360 twin was exhilarating, my brother bought one the same week I got my dream bike, the Yamaha RD400….. paid $1,379.00 Canadian brand new. What a time ! 👍🇨🇦
My brother had one in the 1970's, a gold one he rode it everywhere. He traded it in on a brand new cb750 in 1972 a k2. He still has it today and is bringing it back to it's former glory. I was lucky to buy one from a farmer who left it laying on it's side in the paddock. I bought it for fifty dollars. I was told he put a big bore kit in it and it was about 440. It ran really good. Unfortunately I sold it to a fool who took the motor out and put it into a go cart and ran it without air filters. He would have destroyed it. I wish I still had it now. My brother would have loved to ride it.
To answer a handful of comments, I was using a JIS screwdriver/bits
Those screws were hogged out. Thanks for all your really great videos. Out.
he good
Why did Honda use cross head screws on their engine casings?
I wonder if they were used to stop people over tightening them with sockets and that maybe they were meant to be renewed after a certain number of miles...
@@Eana-of-Sussex Yea, to stop over torquing makes sense. I think it's common to replace them with Allen head bolts, I wish I did that.
Hey buddy! Do you have the things,or may be you😊 have something what you can fix,aa?))))))))❤
This guy just proves there is no substitute for doing things right. Very hard these days to find this quality of work
Hard to find experienced mechanics that know these old bikes.and will work on them.disscontinued oem parts does not help either.glad to see appreciation for vintage Hondas and other bikes .
I love his style of filming and how he works on things. One of the few I can sit and watch for hours

@@SimonFordman thanks man, I appreciate it.
The tachometer fix was genius level
I love how you fix everything with basic tools on the cheap. You keep the old gear running and totally easy to tell what you are doing with out commentary. Probably one of my favorite channels right now. Keep em coming.
Within the first 10 seconds of the video i could tell this creator was something special. By the one minute mark, I was subscribed.
This kid reminds me of myself 40 years ago I'm very happy for you, I love your style son ,,,keep up the good work
And the Oscar for photography and editing goes to Let`s Boogie, the silence in the scene was perfect
Haha, thanks

was really nice :)
no crazy voice, no mad attitude, just a chill dude knowing what he was doing !!! thanks :)
The chirping birds adds a whole new dimension to the video. This is high level stuff.
The best wrenching channel by a mile.
Cheers Simon, you've made my Sunday just a bit better.
Cheers!

Now that is by far the BEST fixer upper bike vids I've seen, you are the all rounder knowing every facet of bike engineering.
Somebody buy this guy an impact driver! Thanks for the great video! Love to see old bikes survive.
31:54
Get a hammer impact screwdriver not impact drill. It is a heavy handled screwdriver and is hit with hammer to help get such screws out.
I still have my impact driver from the early 70's when I was a Honda motorcycle mechanic. 350's were incredibly reliable. The only work I usually did was tune-ups, tires and chain.
Another great old bike saved from rotting doom. Awesome work Simon.
The oil going straight through the fork is both hilarious and something we have all done. 🤣🤣

@@Doveproductions73 Do you have the clymer manual like Simon does?
@@debbyshoemaker2053 ehh this project kinda got put on hold because I’m on a submarine rn
Nice work. I had the cb360 model. Wished I'd have kept it. Reliable and trustworthy. Thanks for your upload.
Watching this is the true embodiment of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair
Yea buddy. Great book.
to take that speedometer apart and ..diagnose it, then be able to cobble a repair..just amazing ..you rock bro.

This is probably the most useful motorcycle renovation video I have seen, thanks.
A splendid video...with no cranky.. cocky music.. just plain knowledge and that relax feel 2 see this motorcycle back alive again.. bravo..
CB36T Honda. Owned one and drove it from Portland Oregon to LA, up to, Canada and all over,Oregon and Washington. It just ran and ran loved that bike
Woah! 2-wheels and sunshine! glad to see ya moving on from the winter
At long last
Motorcycles and old Fords! Another excellent video.
Yeah, but he brought it home in a Chevy...
Yea he did, but who cares. Old stuff is good stuff!!!! You rock Simmon
Excellent, takes me back to the late 60's, 70,s when you had to " mend and make do " I still do that now. The Tacho repair especially, also used tyres. So many people just throw things away today. Good work sir.

Is yours a “Custom 500?”
I noticed the tail lights.
Nice job with the tie down
Amazing fix up. All motorcycles are worth rebuilding and restoring.
You need to snag an impact screwdriver and a JIS bit. It's pretty much a must for working on old bikes.
Definitely
You show amazing restraint leaving that salvage yard with just a few items. Thanks for talking us on a ride

I love watching your videos recovering these rarities. 24 years ago I had a 1973 CB350 with chrome fenders here in Brazil!
Your skill as a mechanic is very satisfying to watch. I learn things from you all the time. You make stuff look easy. Where when I look at some of the work you do , I think oh man uncharted territory.
Simon you are a great motorcycle mechanic ❤❤
Your videos have kept me sane during my death-march nightly feedings with my newborn. Keep killing it - love the content.
What?!!! A brand-new wire brush. That old one had been well used. I had a SL350 I road everywhere. Great engine.

On anything aluminum cast, WD-40 and tap it first will usually break that corrosion weld lose on the valve adjustment and other screws. Aluminum is very suspectable to corrosion and electrolysis welding.
