Very rare bike to be found in canada, good eye jim. I had a pic of a 72 350 cop bike. It looked tiny. I don't know where I saw it, but if I find it again I'll hold on to it. and post it.

montanaoffroader · 03-18-2008, 09:46 PM

Nice looking bike, N2R. Now we just need to see what it looks like on the road! :wink:

IronFist · 03-18-2008, 11:01 PM

I was having trouble with the timing and points gap. When I got the bike the left cylinder didn't fire.(sometimes) After I worked on it the Left was fine but the Right didn't fire(Sometimes) Tested it out for about a mile the other day. Much better. The Gaps were a hair too large. I keep expecting to find something really costly that will keep me from riding this spring, but the more work I do the better it gets. The compression isn't great but it's not bad for an old bike that hasn't been overhauled. I figure if the engine gets redone next year, it'll last forever. My rear fender showed up in the mail today. It shined up nice and will go on tomorrow. The bike will never be worth more $$$$ than I put into it.(Not a lot.) The time is free and I wouldn't be compensated if I were to sell it, but I don't care. I intend to keep this one a while.

IronFist · 03-25-2008, 05:18 PM

I'm having trouble with a cylinder not firing, first one cylinder then the other. Sometimes both work perfectly; The problem comes and goes and is very frustrating.

If I take the sparkplug cap off the sparkplug,(of the non-firing cylinder)
But I hold the cap close, so that it arc's to the plug, Bang the cylinder fires up. If I push the cap onto the plug the cylinder stops. I can't hold the cap just off the plug and ride 8O . Sorry for being new but has anyone dealt with this? Getting very good spark, new points condensers, battery. Done the timing. The bike idles perfect as long as the sparkplug-cap isn't quite touching the spark plug. If I'm not being clear, let me know and I'll try to explain it better. n2R

IronFist · 03-26-2008, 05:58 PM

FYI those symptoms are usually a fouled plug. So I was told. I changed the plugs and ya it was good for a ride today. Still want to wait till it cold starts tomorrow. If both cylinders fire from a cold start I'll be happy.

katoranger · 03-27-2008, 01:03 AM

N2R, look what followed me home today from the scrapyard.

$50

IronFist · 03-27-2008, 11:38 AM

8O What is your plan for it. 8O
Is it a parts bike? resto? cafe?
If it's a parts bike, and the Light bucket and petcock are in good working condition, I'll take those 2 parts for sure, maybe more with close-up pics . How can you post a pic like that with no info.........

That bike, with papers, is about 500$ here. No matter what you do with it, GOOD FIND brother. So Kato, where is that scrapyard? :wink:

Bike started with both cylinders this morning. Yesterday I did about 10 miles, and it ran well. I re-did the points, I think properly this time. Still too cold for a proper tune up, It'll run lean in the cold.

FYI there are 2 screws in the choke flap in both carbs. They loosen and can fall inside. The day I found that out, I tighted mine, they were almost falling out. Takes 10 seconds and saves worlds of heartache. Let me know if you want to sell parts, between me and Jack, you could strip that thing pretty quick. :twisted:

Lokos like a lot of good parts on that ol gal, n2r is going to have You on speed dial

IronFist · 03-27-2008, 01:34 PM

Nope, from what I can see just the lightbucket, petcock if working perfect, and I'd take the airboxes and air filters if still useable and Maybe, the carbs? Kato has a buddy down there who he could just flip the bike to for 300% profit. That's what makes it such a good find. It's got to be the cheapest powerplant for any type of project. Tested and working they go for about 150$ on ebay, but you have to wait till one pops up near you cause you don't want to have to pay shipping. :oops: Wow, 50$!. :o

03-27-2008, 01:36 PM

Man i really like the looks of those bikes. I'm not sure why, but they really appeal to me.

IronFist · 03-27-2008, 03:06 PM

Yep, me too. Fell in love with the first one I ever saw, mine.

Old but not too old. Cheap. I like the Triumph looking flat seat and style and chrome, but I could never afford one of those. For the price it's my dream bike. (price being everything.) I thought it would ride smoother than it does, it's a little tingly in the pegs. More vibes than my chinabike, but I haven't done the syncing of the carbs yet. I seems short from wheel to wheel. Counter steering is very quick, you can change lanes by just thinking. Feels heavier but smaller than my 150cc chinabike, and I guess it is. I wonder if you could strap one of these 325cc engines into a chinabike frame. I know I could make a crazy go cart with one.

katoranger · 03-27-2008, 06:13 PM

I have traded it to Jack for a yamaha seca that I am parting out.

Sorry, but no parts off this one. If you want you can email him as I think this is going to be used for parts.

I found that one of the sparkplug threads is stripped in the head so that is probably why it was dumped.

IronFist · 03-27-2008, 06:32 PM

I figured that's where it was going. Oh well, I'll talk to him. There is a really nice bucket on Ebay, but after the luggage rack, fenders and side covers I told the wife I'd swear off ebay for a while.

On the insurance end I got a tip and followed it up. Home for chrome. I think it's canada wide, I don't know about USA. Vintage has hoops to jump through. 3 years same bike. They got me a normal policy, no theft or fire insurance but it's legal for street, $407 a year. I just saved lots of money. Maybe I can do a little ebay-ing.

Now on the CRAZY side a 72 cb350 K4 NOS front fender is going for $212 but the auction still has almost 2 days to go. 8O I can't emagine what the final winning bid will be. I won't be getting the Email that says " YOU JUST WON!"
