Bad A** 1966 Honda CL160 Part 2 (Carb Rebuild)

[@mustie1]

IT LIVES,,

[@sptrader6316]

I had a 66' Honda CB160 back in the early 70's. Great bike, 90mpg. You brought back great memories. I wish I still had it.

[@snocrushr]

Great video guys, Just a note,The low speed jets you were adjusting near the end of the video are actually air mixture jets (notice blunt tip) Turning the screw out makes mixture leaner and turning it in makes it richer. The amount of fuel is metered by the Slow Jet located in the float bowl and is adjusted by replacing the jet with one of a different value. Rule of thumb: If the low speed jet is located before the slide of the carb (air cleaner side) it will be an air control jet. If it is located after the carb slide (manifold side) it will be fuel control jet. 🇨🇦 👍👍

[@calvinmientke3539]

I found the "keep hour hands off" factory plugs on the manifold side of the carbs. It adjusts the fuel and not the air. Big difference! I didn't see Slippers stick his fingers against the slides to check cable sync. That return to idle says more tinkering. Multiple carbs, always return original parts to their own carb.

[@allanvaneste9106]

I found it strange that Honda didn't provide a height measurement for the slides at idle. That way you can use a couple drill bits the right size under the slides when syncing the throttle cable. Both bits should move at exactly the same time when applying throttle.

Nice job, guys! Enjoy that fine ride and stay safe.

[@jamesadams2333]

This is so nice seeing you two working together. That’s a nice bike! Keep up the great work and I hope to see more!

Wish i could upload a pic here! Got my Taryl glue and tube squeezer today! Cool packaging and got a sticker! Thank you guys!

Good job guys-I could never get mine to idle years ago-where were you when I needed you?-LOL!

[@johnb5519]

I've fixed those broken posts for the floats, by milling the rest of the post down a bit, and machining a new piece for the top, and then drilling and tapping using a 4-40 stainless stud to screw it together. Once the float pin is in, you don't have to worry about it backing off.

[@austenj4539]

Like watching the 'Fonz' riding around town with 'Big Al' watching over. Happy Days!

[@rheidtech]

Runs really nice. Gas, compression and timed spark.💪

[@KraeseRepairs]

I've used 4 into 1 many times. Great site. Good quality parts.

[@6060don]

I had one of these bikes in the 1960's and early 70's. We had to do a crank and we had to do the carbs. When done it ran very well a nice bike. I also had a CB 175 at the same time. Honda really made great bikes in those days.

[@brucecoleman7412]

I bought a ‘66 CL160 back around 72. It had straight pipes so it was loud! Put some Snuff-Or-Nots on it and they quieted it right down! Turn the knobs and it was back to straight pipes. The kits were about $2 per pipe. The company is long gone, but there is plenty of information and pictures of them on the internet. You could make your own.

[@antoniomarc7174]

Man this bike is going to be sweet can’t wait to see it all done…👍👍👍

[@hargray2]

I syncd the carbs on my 160 by pulling the air filters and putting a popsicle stick under each slide. Adjust the cables until the popsicle sticks are parallel. Super easy!

[@blackscotydog]

Nice job Sippers....Love them old Hondas..In the process on fixin up a tenth anniversary CB 750L. Thanks for the 4into1 tip.

I dig those CL exhausts!! I want one on a cafe style 160. Awesome find slippers.

[@dougkubash8673]

The 160's and 305 Hondas had a great sound.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

It would be amazing to see you collaborate with Mustie1. He could play the mad scientist. lol He loves you guys just as much as we do.

[@chillenchilla4]

I SEE A EPISODE OF BACK TO THE FUTURE WITH THAT IDEA!

[@stevendezwaan5707]

A Taryl, Slippers, and Mustie1 collab would be epic indeed.

[@gregfleming9450]

I am curious to know how you would lap in the needle and seat. By the way, no criticism here, nice to see old stuff revived, thank you.

[@veb92168]

That bikes is awesome slippers!!!

[@jmaxim80]

damn that old girl sounds good my god. its amazing how well the Japanese built those old bikes. I mean they still build them well but the old ones in my opinion are awesome.

[@woodlandburl6648]

I sure wish that you were around when I had my 1966 BSA thunderbolt lighting. Many years ago.

[@michaelheiser861]

those older hondas sound sweet i had a 305 scrambler in 1968 ,there was something with the piston stroke , both pistons rotated the same but, dont take me to court on that that was 50 + years ago.... did love that sound

[@charlesmoore3321]

The Dreams had a 360 degree crank where the pistons rose and fell together. the scramblers had a 180, one up when the other was down. The 360 had a nice lope at idle.

[@luuk-out-below9804]

Looking good Slip. You must really be having a mild Jan this year hehehehehhe.

[@utooobur]

It's been years since I worked on any of these older Hondas but I do believe you are adjusting the floats from the wrong surface. For one, if the measurement was from the surface you used the gauge in the diagram in the maual would have had the tip of the gauge dotted where it was hidden behind the raised lip on the body of the carb. Also the measure indicator off to the the right indicates the edge of the carb body. This also maybe why the idle wont come down.

[@BradLybarger]

Props. Slippers mechanic screen performance much improved

[@gelsol]

Love the cover on that manual!

[@greggthompson7]

Excellent video guys….dinner is well done

[@mfcjr1]

That looks like Slippers on the front of that manual. Great Job!

[@jamest.5001]

I tried to buy a 175 a few years ago never could find the guy, it was a 69 scrambler, what I was told anyway, the guy showed it to me , didn't own it, it was in a building , tight spot,. So I didn't get a good look, but saw enough to know I wanted it! Even if the engine was mostly missing, but seemed to be complete, and decent looking, I would put a different engine on it if need be, I like smaller frame lighter bikes,

[@davidphillips2259]

That looks so cool 😎

[@fair2middlin]

I really enjoyed this at WARP 1.75!

[@jerryrash1775]

I use to have one just like it,I loved that bike

[@ElainesDomain]

I remember these things when they were new. Idle is too high. Nice bike.

[@daizamaker-jerrybraswell1997]

[@christopherboris911]

Way 2 crush that dual carbatrator overhaul Slip Dawg! Hails from us northern MI grass ratz and snow catz!

[@67giacomo]

I had a 1976 T140 750 Triumph Bonneville;The shape of the frame is similar but the Triumph was a oil in frame and the oil inlet Was on the frame at the base of the tank between your legs.the Triumph also had duel carbs but Triumph used Amel carbs for 76

[@67giacomo]

Cleaning these old carbs I would used Berrymens chem dip,it came in a gallon with a tray inside,I would dip them for 20 min and they clean up great,

[@DizzzyKipper]

[@refugeinc.159]

Looks warm there in Podunk this time of year.

[@ralphwatten2426]

I wonder if the slides didn't get swapped from side to side. I fired my 305 up and it ran bad. Couldn't get it to idle down and no idle adjustment. The cutouts in the slides are on the wrong side. Very easy to do as they go into the carb like normal.

[@bcad4066]

Aren't the low speed mixture screws air bleed screws? i.e. turn them in to richen the mixture and out to lean the mixture.

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

This is an amazing vintage bike Slip Dog. Lucky SOB. You may not have all of Taryls skill but you do have an amazing talent for restoring the greats. Good work my dude. Next you need a Harley. lol If you can get these floats clean you can solder the holes shut. Obviously you need to make sure there is no gas in it. Ultrasonic cleaner should do the trick.

[@spagsketti]

Ewww Harleys,,, I Have had over 10 Harleys and never again. Over priced, slow, crazy maintenance, ego driven junk. Never owned one that I did not end up doing some major motor repair except a 98 dyna Evo. Just give me a 1100-1400cc Sport bike any day. Run circles around most of the built Harleys on the road. Change the oil put gas in the tank and ride really fast. without issues.

[@charlesangell_bulmtl]

@@spagsketti Well, you gave up just in time for HD to approach reliability 😂😂😂

[@spagsketti]

@@charlesangell_bulmtl YA I did, don't think that new big ole motor they just made is issue free. I worked at Harley I know the inside. No thank you. Harley corp have been screwing their customers for years and they don't even spit on it. The twin cam came out in 1999 and by 2001 they knew the cam chain tensioners were soft they sold every last one before putting the new fix on the shelf to sell. Plus they did not "FIX" it in production bikes till 2007-2008 knowing if it failed in the premature 25k-40k mileage it would destroy the motor. Same time period with the pressed together flywheel that would shift with age or high RPM (before rev limiter kicked in) cutting off oil to the motor destroying it as well. a few small simple welds before it got balanced would fix the problem and did Harley do it?? No they charged you for that service when you rebuilt the destroyed motor usually out of warranty. around 2009 is when they addressed that problem. Now did they sell you a pressed together flywheel when fixing the bike?? Ya. So you put broken new parts in the bike so you can turn around and do it again. See no spit. I will still pass.

[@justinurgirl8275]

Lmao tune carborater untill both exhaust pipes sound the same "so you better have good ears". The way taryl said that was priceless.

[@jamest.5001]

I'd fill the tank with hot vinegar, get it boiling in a pot, pour it in the gas tank, let it set until cool, and repete if needed, it should look like new after a couple treatments, then rinse with 70- 91% alcohol, then a few ounces of gas, after that. Either seal it, or fill with gas!!

[@morriewyatt6234]

As the saying goes: If you have a $10 head, get a $10 dollar helmet. I speak from personal experience. Turns out that pulling a clearway sign out of the ground, complete with the concrete block using your head isn't a great idea.🏍🌧😵🚑 Fractured C1 (a hangman fracture) and T4 (4th thoracic vertebra) and spent the next 3 and a half weeks flat on my back in hospital. Fortunately my helmet took the brunt of the damage rather than my skull. (Wet roads, aquaplaning and a fire hydrant assisted high side ensured that the only thing that hit the sign was the top and centre of the helmet.)

[@keithbrass8350]

Hey guys why do we need such precise measurements in there?what if it's not quite at that measurement that you are trying to be at ?😏JW 😎✌️love you taryl!

You know that gas tank is worth as much as the rest of the bike, because it is the rarest piece. That petcock is not very easy to come by either.
