It's sounding pretty good. Hopefully you'll be driving it around soon.

Hey 350for350,
Yep brakes are my big hold up, I have the parts ordered, working on the seat set up now.
I pulled my 350x out today, its coming onto the channel soo, going to be a motor tear down/ top end job. may be a full tear down, not sure.
Its always been hard to start, hurts my foot, like seriously (bruises) ran some test today the compression is very low. Worst part I am coming in behind a "wanna be mechanic"
so there is no telling what I will find inside. This bike has been troublesome since I bought it.

I just messaged a guy on a fl250 tonight. if I get it, I can learn from your videos!
my last 350x someone installed a 350 quad head and left the decompression off. after getting the correct lever it made starting easier. jim

That will be a good one to watch. I learned years that I'll never ride or even try to start my 350X without wearing MX boots.Originally Posted by MrConcdid

I think I have found the 350x problem low compression 96psi and the piston is making a clunking noise at TDC, I would call it piston walk. I think the PO put the wrong parts inside or over bored it, something is not right.
I will be pulling the engine asap.

First Rip on the abandoned Honda Odyssey FL250,
I got to experience a childhood fantasy today,
I always wondered what it would be like to rip a Honda Odyssey Fl250

Yeah, you can't believe how fast 7 days go by, waiting on parts, trying to film/work/editing it goes by fast. My pulse pump couldn't keep up, this thing is a pig, I drained the gatorade bottle twice in about 12 minutes of run time.
I thought the carb was to big, but the plug looks good, and it doesn't smoke a ton.
That's a metal valve stem JB weld to a gatorade bottle with a vent hole in the cap, I filmed that sunday (the same day the video posted). I did have a blast though.
It has little to no brakes, and the turning radius is of a semi truck, the front pushed hard in the mud, I almost hit the fence the first pass, I learned quick you steer with the throttle.
I plan to modify the steering, I hope to increase the steering throw, I can't do much about the weight bias, but the seat was comfortable and gave me enough room, so not to feel as if I was on a child's toy.
did you notice the black marks when I drove out of the shop, its torquey for a 2 stroke.
I like it.
I have an exhaust (mine has a 2 inch hole blowing right at the driver) and brake pads ordered, I think that and swapping the front tires will help across the board, better grip on the front, better fuel burn and better stopping.

since the 70s plastics are so cheap, I vote new plastics and seat. blast and paint the wheels and it will be a really nice trike. there was a guy on ebay selling fiberglass fenders a few years ago. I bought a set for something like 140 bucks. recieved them and a few days later another set showed up. I contacted the seller, he accidently sent the second set to the wrong address. I asked since he already paid to ship them, if I got a discount, id just buy them or I can send them back. So he said just send 75 bucks and keep them. jim

That 350x video was brutal, one problem after another. I really enjoyed it. I decided to restore an old 185s like I had when I was a kid, it fought me the whole way.
