CL350 Top end rebuild

Changed the oil and adjusted the valves & cam chain today because I took her to the Rock Store on Sunday and she was making a lot of noise by the time I got home. Now she is purring like a kitten and I am smiling ear to ear when I ride her.

Hey Ray, are you very happy with the pamco ignition? I have been faffing around with the points on my 350 for a week now and I'm getting a little frustrated, one side of me wants to keep the bike mechanical ignition and the other side just wants to ride the damn thing, any thoughts? I had it running this weekend but not very well, then i adjusted the points following the clymer manual and it wouldn't start after that, now the battery has died...Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I can't understand why this keeps happeneing to a 49 year old man's motorcycle? Shocked

2 reasons, 1st is price, I can get a new set of points for $40 while an electronic ignition is over $100, the 2nd reason is that antiquated/obsolete technology has always really appealed to me, when the world ending EMP hits your bike it won't be able to scramble over sh*t! (not to be taken seriously! Smile

) Great pic btw!

I'll tell you what Ray, I am a points master now! They came in on friday and after a few reads of the clymers manual I installed em and it started right up! With the $ I saved I recycled a leather jacket into a helmet Smile

I can't take the shitty carbs on my Scrambler anymore so I just ordered these and will go pick them up from Sudco tomorrow.

And I may even get a pair of them for my 450 too.

I just need the time to install them.

I miss my little CL350 with her sitting in the back of the garage being ignored & neglected so I took her pipes off to get the carbs out and now have the Mikunis mounted up but, the throttle cables have to be fitted proper and I have never put these things together before.
Going to ask a friend for some assistance and try to get this baby running today.

So, the next saga begins using Mikunis and pods - and chasing jetting changes till you're ready to hang yourself. Twisted Evil
