My side projects.

[Rangerscott]

I picked these up back in August and I think I'm gonna start workin on them this weekend.

Honda CL70

Good: Well it is there. LOL A lot more stuff on ebay for them. Found some websites that sell parts, tires and modified engines. Already bought new carb.

Bad: I hope the forks aren't rusted up. Needs new cables, pretty much anything made of rubber (ex: gas tank pads, tires), needs chain, some wires need to be redone, needs battery, engine condition unknown.

Yamaha YG1

Good: I can feel the piston move with the kick start. Clutch cable works.

Bad: Pretty much the same as the Honda. This is why you dont leave things out in the open. Bent handle bar

The Honda is a 4 stroke and the Yammy is a 2 stroke with oiler. I plan on working on the Honda first cause my other bike is a Honda. LOL I want to have at least one engine running in a month.

I have to clear out some stuff in the garage like tires and a cherry picker. Those seem to take up a lot of space. :lol2:

[budzrex]

The CL 70s are a dream little bike

[Rman of 237]

Both are cool projects. That YG is gonna be a challenge! Good luck and keep us posted!:thumb:

[Tim Kreitz]

Looking forward to following this.

[DaveC]

YG1 is an 80cc?

[Chirpy]

A red '72 CL70 was my first motorcycle...sniff

[cal25]

A red '72 CL70 was my first motorcycle...sniff

My first of my own was a green '71 model. Paid 50 bucks for it and it was sold a few more times for 50 bucks each time. It just kept on runing.

[rickmillertx]

Where are you finding these? I have looked all around for a 70 or a passport to bring back from the dead. Seems most have been cremated.

[Rangerscott]

Got them from a lady when we were working on her house. She says she kept meaning to scrap them.


The piston on the YG1 actually moves so hopefully with a few wires being replaced I'm hoping she'll start.

Now the Honda didnt have the carb attached so I'm fearing the worst.

[rickmillertx]

Have fun, I'm envious.

[Rangerscott]

I need to find out what years they are. I know the honda is a K1 or K2 model. The yammy I just know its early 60's.

[Rangerscott]

Started working on the CL70. So far so good. I can only test mechanical stuff since the wire harness is a little cut up and I dont have a working 6v battery for it.

Got the piston to move with the kick start and sounds good. Got a list of things I need to order.


I'll upload some pics in a sec.

[Rangerscott]

Well this is what I got done today. Not much but I know what I need to order for now. Even though the fork boots pretty much fell off and there was a ton of oil/dirt, the tubes look good.


She's so dirty.

[Rangerscott]

Now anyone wanna donate for parts. LOL

[Rangerscott]

Bought a battery, gas tank rubbers, petcock, coil & spark plug cap, and seals for the engine.


If the engine turns up bad I'll just order a performance sleeve and head or maybe even one of those Lifan engines.


I did find out the frame and engine are Cl70K2 models.




Showing the valves moving.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4654U9LN2Io&feature=channel_page

[Rangerscott]

Got the petcock, seals, gas tank rubbers, and spark plug cap. No battery or coil. I'm just gonna see if it'll start without power. Im sure it will.


Still dont know how the petcock installs.

New petcock

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll23/rangerscott/Newpetcock1Large.jpg

[Rangerscott]

Figured out how the petcock comes off. You unscrew the bowl, then take out the screen. There's a screw there. Duh! :doh:

[Rangerscott]

she runs!!!!

[Rman of 237]

:clap::clap::clap: Congrats!!!!:sun::sun:

[Rangerscott]

Well she doesnt run well and I'm still waiting on the battery and coil. Probably gonna have to find a new spark plug on the internet.


I have video but it plays too fast for some reason.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZL2bDygoe4&feature=channel_page

[Rangerscott]

I'm getting a lot of white smoke when revving and under load. She bogs down when I try to take off.

I think she's getting to much fuel but there's only two adjustment screws. One for idle and another I'm guessing is an air needle.

Is there any way to increase the intake air?

[Rangerscott]

Is there any way to increase the intake air?

Not sure. Trying to find some info on these little carbs.


Gonna check the jet numbers on the new carb to the old carb.

[Rangerscott]

The stock jets (main & slow) were smaller so I swapped those in. Seemed to help some but she still wants to bog down when under load.


Also checked the timing. Seems to be good.

[Tim Kreitz]

Take the air filter off and see what happens.

[Rman of 237]

Like Tim said.. pull the filter and see what it does( be sure the engine's warmed up). Next, make sure the pipe isn't clogged up with dirt. Dirt Daubers love exhaust pipes! That will make it run rich.

[Rangerscott]

Take the air filter off and see what happens.


Does it with filter on or off.

[Tim Kreitz]

Hmm. Then I'd check for exhaust blockage, as Rman suggested.

Also, are you sure your premix doesn't have too much oil in it?

[Rangerscott]

Its a 4 stroke.


I hope the yammy starts up cause a lot of things are discontinued or expensive.

[Tim Kreitz]

Its a 4 stroke.

D'oh! :doh:

Shows you how much I know about Hondas. :giveup:

[Rman of 237]

Uh-oh, Tim's "smokin'" again!:lol2:.....:duck:

[Rangerscott]

Patched the tires, lubed the bearings (they were all tight), rode her for awhile. Still gutless but running.


Ride vid tomorrow.

[Rangerscott]

Still no vid. I was sick all last weekend and the work week kept me worn out. I did get a vid but when I was editing it the program froze and I lost the file so I'll get another vid.



I got another problem now. The carb is leaking fuel out the bottom of the bowl. Its a vent and the tube inside goes way up so the think is just filling up with fuel I'm guessing. It just started this today and has NEVER done it before till now.

Still doesnt wanna run without out choke set some, but doesnt run well. Anything over 1/8 throttle she bogs.

I adjusted the valves but they weren't that loose. Cam chain looks nice.

I turned the intake & carb around to how its suppose to and now when it cranks over it just full revs. I have to turn her off. Adjusting the screws does nothing.

I haven't done anything else from what I've already done. I didn't bend any part of the float. The float needle is seating correctly. I guess I'm gonna have to bend the float tabs so is doesnt fill up so much.



I'll check the timing again tomorrow.

[Rangerscott]

I think I figured out the rough running and having to have the choke on. The replacement carb I have has a bigger venturi than the stock one. About 4mm or more bigger and its oblong shaped instead of round.

Gonna try the bigger jets that came with it again. May need even a bigger main jet.


Gonna keep my eyes open for a stock carb but it isn't gonna be easy finding one of those.

[SL350]

>> stuck float (tap it), float too high, or needle above float bad

>> main jet problem. Clean out jet gently.

>>agree


I'll check the timing again tomorrow.

I also suggest turning off the petcock when not in use. Did any gas get into the oil during overflow? Replace oil again.

Remember on the idle there is a speed screw and an idle mixture. Set the idle mixture to 1.5 turns then speed screw to proper idle.

Looks like a fun project.

[SL350]

I would also check for an air leak between the carb and the manifold. Let it run and spray the gaps with wd-40 and if the rpm changes, you found a leak. Too much air will cause a high speed bog.

[Rangerscott]

The carb is new. Everything is clean. I added a filter to the line. Throttle cylinder is operating correctly and so is throttle cable.


The main problem is the venturi is bigger so it changed the air flow. I bought a used carb off a XL and it looks exactly the same as the CL one. There's another on one ebay cheap locally so I'll if the dude will end the auction.


Got a surpise.I'll post pics after I'm done later on.

[Rangerscott]

Got the new tubes/tires on. They are Shinkos 244's.

http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll23/rangerscott/HondaCL70newtires2.jpg

[Rangerscott]

Haven't done much since I'm getting frustrated that she's not running correctly.

I just got done replacing some seals, draining oil, and replacing the point. Tomorrow I'll replace the condensor and recheck the valve clearances.

I'm still waiting on some oem parts which include some spark plugs. So that would be nice if they showed up tomorrow.

[Rangerscott]

Engine is coming apart.

[Gilk51]

Engine is coming apart.

Hopefully intentionally! :eek2:

It was good to meet you in Slaton and I'm following your projects now that I have found the thread! :doh:

Good luck with the engine.

[Rangerscott]

I just cant get her running right and she smokes so gonna start taking the engine apart and see what needs to be done.

I have to see certain parts of the insides to know if I can bore the engine (short rod, is it this or that, etc) and I may order a new head with bigger valves/cam. Just gonna start new and hope she runs right then.



Putting windows in a church in a small town and wouldnt know. 500ft away is a Honda CL70 sitting on a porch. LOL Gonna ask tomorrow if they want to get rid of it.



I need to slow down some on her cause I'm getting burnt out. Won a new honda manual for it (new as in printed in this decade :lol2: ) and should have the engine fully apart this weekend.

Not gonna order any engine parts until I have everything apart for inspection.

[Rangerscott]

Disassemble!!!!!!!

My ghetto valve spring compressor. Big C-clamp and a 3/4" female threaded copper fitting. I cut a section out of the solder on part and grind down the socket edges. I used this on my vehicle engine rebuild. I had to grind it cause it was a tight fit.

GAME ON!!!!


Sorry guys for leaving ya'll out on the clothes line. Finally ordered a new head, piston w/rings, and had the bore honed.



Here's the new head with dual bearing cam. I think my CC's is gonna drop cause the cut out is smaller than the original (if you cant tell then look at how close the valves are).

Now I can see that they did valve work once but I'm not sure if the piston bore has been touch but both old and new piston fit kinda loosely in the bore. The old one was nice fit with the rings so maybe thats how its posed to be since it's air cooled.

[Rangerscott]

Well got pretty much all the engine together but I hit a snag of the valve adjustment. The manual calls for .05mm (.002in) for both intake & exhaust. The exhaust valve is setting correctly but the intake rocker has more movement in it so when I set it to .002in, the piston hits the intake valve. So obviously the intake needs to be set different. I know have to figure that out.

[Rangerscott]

I could be but there's no markings. I didn't see anything in the FSM about markings. I'll just have to look again. I just eyeball'd how much the exhaust opens up and matched the intake to it.


The cam is probably different. I just didn't want to take the new head apart.

Here's the right side that has the alternator. Forgot pics of installing the stuff so I'll take the magnet wheel off tomorrow and snap some shots.

The cam and cam gear was out of alignment. Got that re-done and adjusted the valves and everything was okey dokey.

Took the magnet wheel off to snap some pics.

It's just an aluminum disc w/ big o-ring around it. Two screws hold that down, then everything bolts to that.

I'll use "running" loosely now. Still having fuel/air management problems. I have three carbs that are identical to the stock one with everything being the same. From jets to the throttle valve size.

Got it to run ok with an identical carb but it would just keep dieing. I tried the chinese knock off but once it fires up, the engine just revs up. I have to control the throttle with the carb's choke. When I do give it throttle it bogs.

Still having problems with fuel just dumping out of the bowls vent tube. Some times it happens and some times it doesnt. So it must be building up pressure still. I'm going to tap a hole in the top valve cover. (I'll get pics) New petcock stinks just as bad as the original one.


I have the contact point adjusted properly and I know I'm getting spark cause it shocked the poop out of me. New spark plug of course.


Got a new throttle cable coming my way. Still working on getting a new kick starter and gas cap.

Just got done reading all 4 pages, I picked up a 67 CL90 this week, It appear's to be in pretty close to the same shape as your 70, All Ive done so far is ordered a new ignition switch with keys, petcock and honda tank badges, Good compression,clutch feel's good, Throttle is crusty and it has no spark, will need tire's, The list goes on, Your 70 looks good, You've sure put a lot of work into it, Mine has what appears to be a good carb even though fuel is running out the bowl, I had to put fuel to the carb with a shringe due to bad petcock, I plan on doing maybe one thing per weekend to it and hope I can at least get it to fire. Enjoyed your thread. Im sure Ill have some question's coming soon. SZ.
