This Honda CB350F Has Mud Wasp Nests in the Cylinders… Will it Run? (Sitting Since the 80s)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- The Honda CB350F was an uncommon 350cc inline 4 cylinder motorcycle build from 1972-1974. It was more expensive and less torquey than the 350cc twin, but it revs past 10,000 RPM! The CB350 four cylinder has been a dream bike of mine, and we picked this one up for $250! Unfortunately, this one has been sitting behind a barn since the 1980s with no spark plugs and no carburetors, so the engine is very stuck.
Thanks for Watching!

This was my first motorcycle, the Honda 350f, same color. Rebuild the topend of the engine with it sitting in a box in the living room. I wish I had gotten rid of the wife and kept my bike 😢
Still have the same wife or ex wife?
My brother had one that was blue 💙. It was his first bike.
Ive got a Uncle, who buys and restores Trail 70's. He lives alone, so he has 2 spare bedrooms. One of them is packed full of bikes. While the other one is his "Shop", that he restores them in. You reminded me of that talkin about building that engine in your house. Lol
You took the words out of my mouth. I should have kept the bike!
“ Don’t scratch the cylinder wall” I think we are a lil past that lmao
A 350 four? A bike worth restoring. Thank you for saving it from the crusher!
if you love old 4 cylinders with low displacement check out a zxr 250 from the 90s 250cc straight 4 that revs to 18k rpm they're awesome machines
That’s what I said lol why even bother with a 4 cylinder that’s so small? But it exists and that is awesome
@@ricochetgaming7858 These sort of machines are back. Kawasaki has low displacement four cylinder bikes you can buy right now.
@@nickpollay1681 the smaller the displacement per cylinder, the less each piston weighs, the faster it can chooch :D
Honda Mc22 = best of the 90's il4 250s.
So happy to see Charles still part of the team. On a different note, sorry about the blatant theft on your property, Isaac.
Backyard big bore kit incoming
late April Fools ep
Put that engine in a mini bike frame 😂
Great to hear that!
Dual Sport it! I did ;) photos.smugmug.com/Other/CB-400-Four/i-RnTpMZ4/0/CV44LbfzG3CwRqtmrJthF2dnK7NxJnBJS7GcCjmfq/X2/IMG_9395-X2.jpg
Let’s go 😂
i have a 75 CB400F, that replaced this model, that i rescued from going to the dump and revived in 07 after it was wrecked and parked in 92, and its still going strong. these bikes are absolutely invincible
Ole man Honda Said he was Most Proud of that engine of any he designed
Man the fact it barked at all is beyond amazing
Not a production bike, but yall should really look at videos of the RC166, one of Honda's GP bikes from the 60's. It's a inline 6, 250cc with a redline at something like 21k. The sound that engine makes is truly divine.
I marshal over on the isle of man at both the TT and the manx. And one of my favourite racing bikes has to be the 350/4! On open mega pipes, if you've got wax blocked ears stand next to one in the pits area. Hearing job done. 😂
"Let's hear 12 grand one more time!"
That killed me!
I'm an old Honda lover, and am in no way angry with anything you guys did to it. This bike was junk when you got it and not even good for parts, in my opinion.
One thing you might have been able to try is mix up some 10:1 or so fuel to try run it. Thin enough to get through the carburetor, but thick enough to raise the compression.
I do think congratulations is in order though. I think this is the Jankiest Cars and Cameras video to date. I loved it!
That was the worst bike Honda ever made & the second was the cb 360!!!!!!!
Never, ever bet against a Honda, or the Cars and Cameras crew! Nice job, guys. This little bike just earned a full restoration!
Had one back in 92 and ran the twisties from Escondido to el cajon every weekend. I still want another one.
44:08 “ it’s cool, you got your timing mar..uh oh…timing marks”😂😂
I had a 350 Twin. Drove it to work in the summer time. In Chicago! Put gas in it about once a month. For a small bike they did ride nice for their size!
It was a 360 twin, the 350 was a 4.
@@yogibear4682 Wrong. the 350 twin came out the year before the 360 twin. My neighbour had one(360) My 350 had a higher top end speed!
I have a 360 twin and can confirm they are great on gas for what they are. Especially around town.
I have a '72 CB350 K4 Twin - exact same colour, fully restored and now in the UK - was an original Minneapolis bike. Hondas from the 1970s are just the best bikes. Reliable, Rev Happy and Beautiful!
Anyone complaining about your methods of reviving this bike is no real expert or enthusiast. Keep it up.
I have owned Harleys, Yamahas, Kavasakis, Hodaka, Moto Beta but my all time favorite was my 1975 Honda CB400 Super Sport with in-line four actually displacing 408 cc, 6 speed transmission, and the sweet, swept 4-into-one exhaust capable of 110 mph with two passengers.
That is just like my first bike. It was our second car right after I got married. She got the beetle to go to work. I had the bike. It was the dark green color as well! They sound wonderful!
So nice to see you blowing dirt away after loosing the oil fill plug. It's those small things that make a great mechanic! If you where a motorcycle mechanic i would not think twice handing my precious bike in your capable hands.
Wow guys good video, I bought a brand new 1973 CB350-4 red, when I was 17 years old in Montgomery Alabama! My first bike was a used 1971 CL100. Sold my 350 when I went into the Navy in 1974. That was a great bike!
My brother got the same bike from our dad about 15 years ago and called a bunch of places for parts and they told him the bike was worth $50 if it was running. I wish he kept it. Can't believe you got yours to fire up. Had some good laughs with this episode. Keep up the good work.
Glad to see a real motorcycle
Yet another great video! I am so glad C&C has the respect for this old bike that it deserves. The world is headed in a direction such that four-cylinder motorcycles are unlikely to be seen again, especially such a small one. When it comes to old motorcycles, never forget that they aren't making any more of them. I am very much looking forward to the sequel(s) to this episode!
The fact you got that thing running is a Miracle, can’t wait for the big bore
The ring's all being gummed beyond belief is the compression issue, this video is why we love bikes. Thack hell out of the engine abd stick some home made inlet manifolds including minicarbs and zero compression apart from oil, and she ran! I love your channel full stop.
I kid you not, I just picked up a 73 cl350 last Saturday to be my first motorcycle. Keep up the fantastic work guys!!
I bought a '73 CL 350 twin about 20 years ago. It had aftermarket twin megaphone mufflers, one on each side. Sounded awesome!
Super sweet bike!
That thing is destined to be somebody's baby.❤
I consider that a huge win with all things considered the fact u got it to run at all is nothing short of a miracle being that the engine was in that bad of shape n it still started is amazing good jobs fellas can't wait to see the big bore kit on it
I didn't know blue gasket means for water. Learn something new every day 👍
I've got an 82 650 nighthawk(cb650sc), with 14,000 original kms(8700ish miles), waiting for me to bring back to life
What a lovely old bike! Well done getting it turning over, Craig the bearded mechanic would be proud 👍🏻
PvP intake is actually pretty funny. I remember way back when you made it a bunch of people said it wouldn’t work but it did.
it doesnt matter u cant kill a honda u got it runnin an it ran u cant beat a honda ❤
Nice!! My first motorcycle was an ‘82 CB 350, I had it mostly restored, running and riding within a month.
Great project.
My brother-in-law bought a brand new 350-4 back around 1972/73 time frame. I loved that bike, it ran so smooth compared to my 160 or my other bil's 305 Big Bear. It just ran so vibration free that it seemed to purr like a cat. Freeway driving was where it was most noticeable and made the speed limit so cruel on the Orange County California system.
Looking forward to the rest of this one. Thanks for the video. 😊👍
this series of bike is probably why all the hot bikes today are small displacement 4s. wind em to the moon!
@@ghomerhust Your likely right. What was not to like about them. Plus those four pipes just looked so cool being something new & different. 👍
I just pulled my dad's 81 goldwing out of his backyard. It's been sitting for 5 years and the brake fluid looked just like yours. Got it all cleaned out and working again though. Great video guys!
At one time I had a 350 Honda 4 cylinder, wish I still did. You guys didn't lose you did get it running for a bit. This was a great video
ive worked on one these when i was like13 or 14 about in the same condtion but my engine was "saveable" they do rev to 12 and dont hesitate to do so cant belive yours ran at all with that low of compression great video shows how good hondas are
I absolutely love it fellas.Good work and good thinking
This gives me old cars and cameras Vibes where you guys are all super excited to do crazy stuff
You guys can't even imagine how much pleasure I've had watching this episode! I love these videos. This is a very interesting bike and I will be waiting for episode 2 about this bike! installing new spare parts and complete cleaning - it will just be a gift for me!
You got an engine to run without piston rings. That's pretty amazing. I love the crazy stuff you do.
First time watching your channel. Love the fun and innovative methodology. Very different approach. Fun stuff
Awesome job boys. I can't wait to see how this project turns out. I did have ownership of a CB350 around 1993-1994. Never got it to run. Probably just needed to rebuild the carbs. I was a dumb teenager and my mechanic skills were not that good.
Saw a post about this bike on your Instagram a few days ago, I’ve been waiting for this video to come out ever since !!!!
This brought back memories of the CB750K I used to have. I remember tearing down the engine in the parking lot of an apartment where I lived at the time. The chain had worn a hole in the engine case near the drive sprocket, and I had to get the part to someone who could weld aluminum. By some miracle, it ran after I got it reassembled.
I'm happy for all the work, been there, done the same, all with nice cold beer. Badass Boy's keep it moving along.
Love what you guys do. People may cringe watching some of your antics, but that bike is way better off now than it was when Ike found it. Can't wait to see the big bore kit!
2am and this Old Man from Washington NC enjoying the video with my coffee ☕. Y'all really accomplished something that was impossible 👍. Looking forward to seeing the upgrade video. Love you guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
I just happy to still see Charles in the videos!
I've been watching you guys for a long time now. I used to do stuff like that myself long before there was a you tube lol. I thought this episode was cool! I would absolutely have done the same thing that you guys did with that bike. I mean there's nothing to lose, and it is a restorable bike
This is a keeper. Worthy of a full restoration. Not many 350/4'around.
In the late 70's i put Coke Cola in the top of the cylinder and after a few days of soaking used the wooden block and hammer method. I was then able to take off the Barrel, honed clean the piston and rings. The engine ran sweet for many years.
I'm very impressed with your work
Thanks for sharing this
My first bike was a '79 CB550, put a 4 into 1 pipe on it, that thing screamed, wish I still had it.
I grew up riding the blue 350. That thing was so much fun and I think it topped out around 65 miles an hour.
Please more of these videos. Awesome job guys.
I had one of those about 37 years ago . Ran great and was pretty fast. I would love to find another one
Great project! I'm looking forward to seeing more!
i was at busco this weekend my mind was blown when i realized ike was flagging at the drag track made my weekend getting to drag race for a legend
Yesss, an upload from the best yt channel
i take it like this you guys get to have too much fun at work, great stuff guys thanks.
Another great video guys 👍👍
Bravo on the chain repositioning!
Nice job boys!!! Looking forward to the big bore segment.
Don't forget to check the tank, funny you guys mention prosthetics just as I am about to tell you I wish I could make mini mayhem but I lost my leg, hopefully I will make the next one. Gonna build a mini just for handicap people as soon as I'm capable. love the work you guys do.
If you fellas have time, a fellow aussie, has fully restored a honda CB350F a few years back on his channel. Its an awaesome resto from some attempted cafe racer butchering. AND he's an awesome very knowledgable bloke.
thank you for the show.
Damn dude, that wild mechanic work is majestic
I had a blast guyz
I already have a few of these beauties and then some
The 400,the 550 the gb500tt
And on on
I loved this episode
Amazed at just paper gasket and dead pistons can still run
Indeed its a honda
But they dont make them like this any longer
Now they are 50% of what they used to be
Keep doing what u do best.
In the late 70's, while I was in college, I had the 400 super sport (4 into 1 header). Fun bike around town, wasn't quite up to highway use for any great length of time, lol! Good luck keeping this one around, definitely a classic! Thanx !
I drove my 400 Super Sport from Long Beach California to San Francisco and back in one weekend. Uncomfortable but fast.
@@johnlonnevik5917lol, kinda know the feeling, went from Kalamazoo to the south side of Detroit & back... The way back was cold, headwind & rainy, at least I had a rainsuit under the seat, harhar!
Don't make it right, make it run! Love it!
You guys are awesome!!!! I'm watching you from New Zealand!!! P.S My husband is obsessed with your show!!!
Love this one gents! A green CB350F is a dream bike of mine and yours has amazing patina to boot! I would love to to collab on some vintage motorcycle stuff if the planets aligned!
I’m actually doing a project that I’m dropping a 350 4 into it’s a lawn tractor I’m excited you guys started this project
You guys deserve a round of applause 👏 for getting that bike running 🏃 from the way the cillinders looked I was saying no way . I wonder how that in line 4 would be no a go cart lol 😅
In the UK & Europe, the CB350 Four became the CB400 Four, between 1974 & 1978. Haynes do a workshop manual for the CB350 Four & CB499 Four.
In the UK, during the 1980's, there was a 430cc big bore kit, made by Yoshimura, for the CB400 Four, if I remember right. I'd have to check an old motorcycle magazine ad for the kit. There was also an aftermarket turbo kit, that was tested in a UK motorcycle magazine, during the mid-1980''s.
.
I was hoping that you wouldn't dry rub the gauge lens. There will be a run on water pump gaskets. You guys are absolutely amazing!
Thats amazing well done!
Ive taken two 22 shells and smashed one down a lil and pushed it up inside of another and it worked well!
I’m ready to see it done good job guys
We just gotta go to a Shell, guys, it’s fine. 🤣
I literally cannot believe this ran at all! A top end rebuild and she’d be a runner!!!
A totally cool bike - I loved the red one and saw one on the road six years ago!!
That thing is absolutely magnificent it makes me want to give Ike a bunch of money and say to him "find me something cool to ride" really great video guys
Ingenuity at it's finest fellas .. When it comes to Hondas and reliability then look no further than our mate Ian Coates (from Yorkshire) and his Africa twin who spent 14 years travelling the world. His wife was a little perturbed as she thought he was only going on a 4 month trip. Have a great time at Busco.. which reminds me, I need to get some French's for my beanie weanie meanies , it's a tradition now ;)
Had one of those right around the time that was parked not a particularly fast motorcycle but the sound and it's a blast to ride
Do what you do guy's I love this channel wish I could be there with you guys
I take it as I need a new job. What a great way to make a living. I love it.
I love this episode! I wish I worked with you guys!
Awesome, my dad had the 754, same color!
Wiseco used to make parts for those 350's. By the way Dale Walksler used to use a hotplate under the motor to bring the temps up to around 400 degrees to bring the motor up to the temp it would be at when shut off for the last time and then try to turn them over or to start.
I call it a win. There was no WAY this should have ran let alone turn over. New pistons, rings and the correct carb set up, this thing would purr like a kitten. Good job guys!
20 minutes in and I think hands down this is the most, "That's what she said" episode.
Got a good name for the bike. Zombie Bike. You brought it back from the dead, and it has the green paint job. Awsome job!
Badass gotta love a inline 4 cb miss mine perfect beginner bikes
CB came out with cool pipes yep definitely worth restoration 🤘🏽
CB and gold wings been fitted into Toyota starlet rally car 👍
i remember that bike it was neat and smooth running
You guys are great!
Thanks to you guys, I picked up a lawnmower for free that was seized up. I needed a mower after the landlord was mistaken that they had lawn services cut the grass and HOA was getting mad. Soaked the cylinder with PB Blaster, let it soak. Finally freed up and it barely runs. Cleaned the carb but it still uses a ton of fuel. And it surges, so that speed controller needs a new spring I think. But it works. Neighbors don't like the smoke so maybe I'll hit up GPS for parts to rebuild it. I didn't want to pull the head without a new gasket, so just PB Blaster only
