    This carburetor is just a gift that keeps on giving. Broken, frozen bolts...barely impacted the screw that holds the idle adjuster now a hole in bowl .

    Thanks guys for the tip on PB......I have some in a small container but it looks as if a parts carb is in order. A free or near free bike is one of the most expensive things you can buy....... that I've learned long ago.

    And that is why you get two of the same machine for free, so you can make one out of the two, and sell spare parts to keep the investment low .

    ps2.....I keep looking but then I dont. Usually things just present themselves and if I can I get it. At bare minimum the tires seem to be holding air just fine. I inflated them when I brought it h pool me and they're still good. The front has a plug from a patch but still holding air. I guess I have to be grateful for what I have.

    To be honest, I never gotten a free machine, but I do buy a lot of parts machines. Having enough room and time, you can almost always find a good deal on a 2nd machine, just how much time can determine how plausible it is. Same theory has a spar carb, a spare machine to rob parts from can be a life saver.

    Put a 400EX carb on it. That's what's on mine. It has to be polar cold before even thinking about touching the choke or it'll flood but otherwise seems like a good carburetor.

    That might be something I'll do.

    Someone educated me......does an 85 and 86 use the same carb? Looking at used ones on ebay.

    A lot of the rubber parts on this bike are as hard as injection molded plastic. They might need a boiling moisturizer bath.

    It has the gear driver for the speedo but no speedometer. I see a lot on ebay but I'm unsure if some are model specific. A Goki starter came up not to long ago on ebay and probably lasted a half a day. Some parts are getting harder to find and a tick costly.

    Your speedo drive gear that is already mounted is "specific" ,,,, everything else for the most part is all the same. speedo cable can use darn near any Honda older motor cycle cable so long as it is long enough but not so silly long it loops out all about.
    If you decide to eliminate the drive gear (that if has no cable in it and rode much would either need some going thru and/or be a parts part) you will need the spacer and correct bearing seal.
    If that drive gear rotates okay enough it will fetch you some surprisingly good money on ebay if you decide to go that route on that particular part (marketed correctly with pics and description)

    Oh man you could straighten that out with a hydrolic Jack and some 2x4s! I've always wanted a 350x with electric start. I just can't imagine what kicking one would be like. Nice find man.

    The 350x's have an automatic decompression release cable, so kicking them when it is working right feels like kicking a 125cc dirt bike, really easy. However, if the cable is missing or not adjusted correctly and the engine is in good shape, it is pretty hard to kick. I have two machines and one in each setup. The hard to kick one I don't ride much since it is the nice looking machine and I ride pretty hard. I'll fix it some day . Good thing I never had it kick back, I'd think it could break my ankle.

    Want to sell the speedo drive gear? I will send you the piece that is taken out in place of the drive gear.

    Thanks DJ. I was thinking it might not take much to get the bend back into a more straight position.

    it does kick over pretty darn easy with the compression release system.
