The purpose of my channel is to educate and entertain in the realm of all things mechanical. Motorcycles, cars, trucks and tools as great resources for comedy, education and entertainment. Plus they're just cool! I will also include tool and product reviews from time to time.
Love your videos my best friend in high school had a couple of scramblers cl72 & cl77 I always wanted one but just never happened. I’m watching your journey 😮 very interesting. Thanks Bob
@@ProjectDumpsterFire-tm3jt good luck finding the parts I bet that’s fun 👍 I’ll be watching this project. I don’t know what it is about the scramblers I just think they are so cool and classy 👍 I should have bought one.
Yes. I think they are Akronts. Stock wheels were chrome plated steel. I can tell they are the aluminum rims because they have the raised side rails. You can check with a magnet.
I restored a 1965 CB77. I've owned it for 10 years and just ride it around the neighborhood. My first ride on a motorcycle was on the back of my friend's dad's CB77, so I had to eventually get one of my own. It's fully stock except for electronic ignition.
If it were me I'd dry out the cylinders and pour some brake fluid in there and leave it for a few days. Then take a box end wrench to the flywheel and work it forwards and backwards until things start to move. Heating the cylinder with a torch might help too.
I have a CB350 it's horrible to get the motor out of it also and harder to reinstall. I often think there must be a better hobby but I'm hooked and that's it. Thanks for a great video
A few months into mine and I can see you do have your work cut out for you. But that’s why we do it an opportunity to run your hands over every single part and get to know it. Should be fun I will be watching
Let met tell you how to fix that mess.I have the same problems.after you cleaned most of both cylinders i heat up both cylinders with a torch being care ful not damage anything,then ilet cool drop liquid wrench several hours then take my 2 inch of solid aluminum round block i take the top of the piston head and strik it with my 2 lb hammer doing both sides after 30 mins you will notice pistons will start to move back and force its not easy but i did it and soon be doing it soone@@ProjectDumpsterFire-tm3jt
You could do it the correct way with wooden dowel rods and woodglue. WoodenToothpicks and matchsticks work as well. However if you don't have any of those listed , this will definitely work in a pinch
Works in a pinch but its not a good fix. For a proper fix mix some toilet paper and wood glue and shove that paste in the hole. Let the glue dry a bit and then put in the screw.
The best technique is to have the non adjustable side on the side you're pushing. So as the way he had him in the video, he would be tightening that bolt.
It is but a lot of people don't know that. As a kid, I rounded off every bolt on my bike until someone showed me how to use it right. I'm not sure if your life is a lie. Truth is a fickle beast.
When I was working in a Motorcycle shop back in the late 70's and mid 80S, I used to use Lemon pledge exclusively to clean the customers bike when I was finished with it, and they really liked it. (smells good too) It works really great! Thats all I use on my 2003 Fat Boy.
