Subject: 1969 Honda CB 350

I just had one given to me. It's my first bike and I know balls about motorcycles.

I'm learning as much as I can from the friends I can beg to help me out on weekends.

Anyone have any advice?

I know that it has a bad oil leak.

How can I test the coils to see if they work?

The kick start rarely catches, so I'm gonna focus on getting the elect start going first.

Where is a good place to get hooked up with parts? Its definitely missing the back blinkers, and will need new mufflers eventually.

Also need mirrors

I wanna get it running beautifully then worry about aesthetics.

Thanks for any help or advice you can give on getting my Murdercycle running! emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

Not sure how far you have got, can you start the bike?

Regarding the coils, first thing to check is do you get a spark at the plugs - with them removed from the cylinder head but held against the engine to earth? May be difficulty if you can use the kick or electric starter, so you need to get one or other sorted first.

I had a coil problem for a very long time. I eventually decided to swap the HT leads between cylinders (you also need to swap the leads that control when each coil fires). In doing so the lead on one side cracked. If it was not the problem before it was now. So I replaced both coils (hard to find, but CB500 twin ones worked).

I now ride the bike most days emoticon

The best advise I can give you is get or download, a shop manual.
The CB/CL/SL 350's are pretty mush straight forward.
With the manual you can do everything yourself.
