Any mechanics out there? years ago I had a Honda CB 77 and found it was only firing on one cylinder, it was the plug, put a new one in and it was perfect till I turned the engine off, found the new plug was dead, it would start and run after a new plug was fitted but after turning the ignition off the new plug was always dead, never found the problem, just sold the bike however I always wondered what was causing the problem, any body know the reason?
Great job in sorting things out. But, pls: go watch a video from the great master-mechanic Allen Millyard! No music! Some cupcakes, every now and then, that Tracey is baking. Some hedgehogs, sometimes. And: No music! (I'm 63 and much into "The Warning" from Mexico, these days. Those 3 sisters ROCK!)
Good video. I once had a 250 Super Six Hustler which developed a misfire after its first service and the problem turned out to be a missing washer under the main jet - how this had occurred is a mystery - but it was not laid in the float bowl. The fact that the washer was missing allowed the emulsifier tube to rise and fall at will hence the rough running/misfire.
bought a 380 back in the late 70s, only thing wrong was the kickstart return was broken, no problem says I, then realized the whole crankcase had to be split, rebuilt it completely on the kitchen floor, survived just, though the wife was a bit upset, lol
Was looking forward to watching this as I have fond memories of the Suzuki GT380 but that “music”!!!! Forced myself through 3 min’s but can’t take anymore, be bad enough for a couple of floors in an elevator.
had one of these 1975/76 in blue, very smooth ride until you hit 5.5k rpm, great bike ,simple maintenance and could shift. better than the cb500 one of my mates had,
Great bikes, had a 550 in 1977, silky smooth and always remember hitting the power band, so much fun and a bike I miss to this day. Great video, thanks, even thought the music was ok.🙂
I haven’t watched the video yet, but I know it’s going to be a burn hole in the top of the piston because of the spark plug misfiring because water has gotten in under the spark plug cap
@@quidly259 I ran into that problem very very, very many years ago in the world the person that had owned the bike before me didn’t return the correct spark plug cap and replaced it with an aftermarket one and the same thing happened to me twice when I was driving to work on a cold wet morning, I loved that bike ended up, swapping it out for a Honda
Yeah guy bought it in spent a fortune on it somewhere Inc crank re build. Said he just wanted rid Nice bike I bought it from him thinking I could always break it. And hey presto I couldn't believe no one had tried the obvious.
