HONDA CB350 Everlasting OIL LEAK! did I fix it?

[@sher1man88]

Excellent I will be fixing my dad's 1972 SL350 that he bought in 1973. Did well making it this long.

They last forever

Love it! Best wishes from a CB350 guy in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@kentuckyyankee]

Thank you !!

[@bmwtravel1100]

clutch pushrod seal = yep. I think they are my #1 culprit on UJM crankcase leaks. and sometimes that clutch actuator is buried behind hoses, exhaust, whatever.

"I don't rev it to the red line..." "... well, maybe just sometimes." Just earned a like and subscriber for the honesty. 😂

[@kentuckyyankee]

Thanks! Pour the coals to it!! 😂😂

How's she goin'? Showing the basket case some love, gotta like that!!! I think it was a good idea to change the seals. The best thing for a seal is to use it and I think since this sat for so long, they dried out and that's where the leak was coming from. Showed some nice tips too!!! Thanks for that!!! Hope you have a great 2020!!! Take 'er easy!!!

[@johngriffin141]

The pushrod seal is notorious for leaks, even popping out if the pressure inside the crankcase gets to high. I know you didn't show it, but you did put the metal ball back in at the end of the pushrod, right? Keep the videos coming!

[@kentuckyyankee]

I hope so I explained I put the rod in backwards so I am going to take it back apart make sure things are right. It is hard to film and pay attention to what you are doing, and I am still learning on motorcycles. I think you gave me the info before about the seal popping out, I appreciate all the information I can get. lol!

[@kentuckyyankee]

UPDATE John the ball was in the grease I thought I checked it, also installed the pushrod in properly all fixed now just waiting on nice weather for a test run!

Redoing seals on cb450 1974 . Thanks for this vid

[@kentuckyyankee]

CB450's are awesome bikes, good luck with the seals!

[@williamgregory6684]

They look like Dunstall mufflers which are very high quality and$$$. You should save them and put on some out of your stash or maybe shorties.

[@californiamonster8877]

Put a ~2” compression spring of varying diameters in clutch pushrod and shifter shaft to prevent any pressurized blowouts

[@danielsimpson8929]

The clutch rod seal might leak. If so when replacing take the burr off the cases edge for the seal. This also gives it just enough taper to slide the seal.

[@kentuckyyankee]

Yeah didn't think of doing that, but that would be a better way. I don't think it will leak though may have looked worse on video. Wasn't too bad. Thanks for the tip I'm gonna steal it might be in a future video 😆

@@kentuckyyankee if you can use the tip Great! LoL

[@TheIanlebov]

Great video. I'm about to do the seals on a 1970 CL175. Good tips.

[@kentuckyyankee]

Good luck! Those are nice bikes

[@900cubes]

I’m having the same oil leaks. Where did you get your seal from??

[@7awrence]

Big help thanks!

[@kentuckyyankee]

You're Welcome thanks for watching!

[@danielwelcome6385]

Hay do you know how to solve random realy high rpm but at first it's normal when you start it up

[@kentuckyyankee]

Sounds like possibly cracked intake boots

[@danielwelcome6385]

@@kentuckyyankee oh ok I'll check that out but it's a 1974 cb350 but I also have a problem it some times back fire at at a low rpms (this is my first bike I ever worked on )

[@danielwelcome6385]

Also the spring for my butterfly tung thing is broke can that be a problem

[@kentuckyyankee]

@@danielwelcome6385 There is a series of videos on this bike, I show how to sincronize the carbs set the timing and point, all those things need to be done to get it tuned properly

[@kentuckyyankee]

@@danielwelcome6385 I always repair anything like that if it's broken
