I'm an old Honda lover, and am in no way angry with anything you guys did to it. This bike was junk when you got it and not even good for parts, in my opinion. One thing you might have been able to try is mix up some 10:1 or so fuel to try run it. Thin enough to get through the carburetor, but thick enough to raise the compression. I do think congratulations is in order though. I think this is the Jankiest Cars and Cameras video to date. I loved it!

In the UK & Europe, the CB350 Four became the CB400 Four, between 1974 & 1978. Haynes do a workshop manual for the CB350 Four & CB499 Four. In the UK, during the 1980's, there was a 430cc big bore kit, made by Yoshimura, for the CB400 Four, if I remember right. I'd have to check an old motorcycle magazine ad for the kit. There was also an aftermarket turbo kit, that was tested in a UK motorcycle magazine, during the mid-1980''s. .

Thanks to you guys, I picked up a lawnmower for free that was seized up. I needed a mower after the landlord was mistaken that they had lawn services cut the grass and HOA was getting mad. Soaked the cylinder with PB Blaster, let it soak. Finally freed up and it barely runs. Cleaned the carb but it still uses a ton of fuel. And it surges, so that speed controller needs a new spring I think. But it works. Neighbors don't like the smoke so maybe I'll hit up GPS for parts to rebuild it. I didn't want to pull the head without a new gasket, so just PB Blaster only
