Any intermittent dis is hard to find in the headlight bucket so great find Mustie..
Have the same bike but the UK 250 version, owned it 43 years, it was that colour originally, but i wanted it black. Given to me as a garden wreck. Pulled it all apart, located missing parts and assembled over many months as a part time project. Also, as was the trend way back then I sprayed the frame red and got it all running again. Had to store it in a shed when I moved and it sat there for 2 years, when finally opened up the roof had leaked and I was back to rebuild status again. It's sat hidden away in a water tight shed for 30 years now, time ticking down to another rebuild and return to a black frame, great to see so many videos on these bikes, never realised they were so popular. Always liked it, easy to work on, even for a teenager just starting out on engines.
Back again 7 yr later catching a classic.
In my opinion, bumping the bike back and forth in gear trying to free the piston is a bad idea, unless it's been soaking in penetrate for a few days. It's very easy to snap a ring in two.
Nice
Nice find there Mustie, looking forward to more 😊
Classic Mustie…😂
Thanks for a god video!😊
Those are NOT Philips !! Those are Japanese Industry Standard !!
You’re an awesome guy man. I really dig watching you videos.
Just picked up the exact same bike from a barn. This series and all of your other videos I've watched over the years have given me the confidence that I can bring it back. Thanks for all the great entertainment and guidance over the years!
had one many years ago , whis i had one now
YOU HAD ME DODGEING!
Time to rewatch this series, I just acquired a 1974 CB450 that has been sitting for 30 years.
Had a 72 CB350 Four back in the mid 80s and loved that bike. Be mindful of the timing chain if its like the 4 cylinder model a loose chain will eat thru the front of the jugs and start leaking oil. Had to build mine with new jugs and learned a costly lesson.
Love to see old bikes brought back to life..
I had a CB 400 4. In the late 70's. I hit a dog on my way to work on morning, survived that, took it home parked it and never rode again.
Just discovered Mustie 1 this year and really like the theme. I purchased a 1971 CB350, same Gold color from Spinetti's Honda in 1971. Out the door, tax, registration license, it was $714. Had the bike for many years, using as a commuter and giving my second daughter rides until she would relax to fall asleep. Only issues I had a little trouble with was the timing/tune but once dialed in it ran great again. This one brought back a lot of memories. Thanks. Hope you keep pumping them out.
If you ever come to Co. I have a cb360 that is better shape than that one. And its just waiting to run again.
I bought a new 1973 Honda CB350G which had a front hydraulic disk brake. It was green. It disappeared one night before 11:00 PM in 1975 and only left me one cut link of 3/8ths chain. I went out at 11:00 PM to walk my dogs and it was gone.
Using the screw breaker is good, but remember every one of those bolts are JIS head. It’s much different than Philips head.
This video is pretty much what got me into bikes. And well, guess what I just bought last week. More or less the same model you see here, but 50 years younder. a brand new cb300r. Fuckin poetic that.
She’s a squirterâ¤ï¸â¤ï¸
Weird, it was a not a black guy who couldn’t follow basic instructions
Brilliant videos , hook from the first one I saw , wish I had your insight would love to do an old vw camper up .Thanks for sharing your amazing knowledge
I had a Honda 250 G5 back in the day. Happy Days 🙂
