That one part is the vacuum shut off. Plug the vacuum and remove it. Looks like the fuel line has already been bypassed.

Kinda my thoughts , so there is only one vac line ? plug it off and I don't need the auto fuel valve? I read in the clymers that if its bad you have to replace it you can not rebuild it .
so I guess bypassing would be the cheapest was around it.
Thanks

A couple guys have rebuilt them but I just remove them and make sure your float seals are ok and at nite I turn the gas off.

irish44395 · « **Reply #28 on:** December 23, 2015, 02:46:57 PM »

For now that's what I will do . I think I am going to need new coils. Put the oms meter to them , I get a reading of around 4 which I was told they should be between 3 and 5 but on the plug wire side I get nothing which is suppose to be bad. The leads ends on my meter are not long enough to get inside the coil on the plug wire side good so I am going to remove them this weekend and try to get a reading .

Unusual they would both go out. 650's have 2 separate systems. You ever get a taillite lens?

irish44395 · « **Reply #30 on:** December 24, 2015, 11:27:16 AM »

I am thinking that it may be plug wires .I am going to pull the coils so I can get a good oms reading on the bench. Then I will try to get a arc off the plug . Not going to do any thing until Saturday. I have a line on a few Tail lens just can't make up my mind which one to go with. I also trying to get my priorities in order I have been jumping around to much. Going to start on getting this thing running some what before going on .

If you figure out what you need I have many spare parts. Lenses and coils and much more.

irish44395 · « **Reply #33 on:** December 25, 2015, 10:26:19 AM »

Thanks that's great! I am going to compile a list of things I need I just noticed on the carbs that the t joints are missing no wonder that the gas just ran out. I will let you know and if you have them great I am sure we can make a deal.

Those joints are most likely the "T" vents. I dont know if they are avail from honda anymore. I did get some many years ago. But also "built" some too. Threads on the 650 site about it. Think a couple here too.

irish44395 · « **Reply #35 on:** December 26, 2015, 01:27:43 PM »

today was a fun day. I got a new battery and got the parts to make vent tees for my carbs.
I put the battery in and turn it on.well the starter spun but the motor didn't.Thinking that I have to check out the starter clutch. I think the OP told me when I got the bike that he had done that but he also told me all I needed was a battery to fire it up .I can't seem to get power to the coils I put the meter on them when i push the starter button ,I don't get a reading maybe I am doing something wrong not sure Here are the vent I made need to trim them down and thinking about putting rtv around them to seal them up for sure.
Pete

cb650 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 26, 2015, 06:29:11 PM »

dont use rtv use holomar. I think thats how its spelled. rtv wont hold up to gas but the other will. it is a permatex product.

irish44395 · « **Reply #37 on:** December 27, 2015, 07:13:05 AM »

To late I put the red on. I had some of it, it's for gaskets and says it flexible so for now we'll see how it holds up

I haven't done much the last few day . I did clean out the shed, I can get the bike in and out easily now .
Today I pulled the starter to make sure it is turning. and it is nice and quite too. I can put my finger in the starter hole and turn the gear very easy Not sure what that means but I am going to pull the starter clutch out this week end . found a old thread form Ouch " the devoricer" He pics have helped a lot to figure out what I have to do . Also been watching Hack a week a lot and I am learning quite a bit and getting the confidence to do this work. Up to now the most motor work I have done is adj the valves and synic the carbs .

I had a fun day. it took most of the day to get the lock nut off the clutch. I could not get that bugger off.
Gave up on it for a while clean one of the front caliper want back at the clutch got frustrated posted on the board for help watch a Bill Murry movie from netflex . Want back at it,thinking that I was turning it the wrong way tried it and felt it get tighter want back the other way and it broke free. Pulled the clutch and then the shaft for the starter clutch Now I have to get the thorax screws out . they don't seem to line up but I sure it will get sooner or later more likely later

Did you read the threads on the starter clutch?

irish44395 · « **Reply #42 on:** January 01, 2016, 05:12:38 PM »

Yes I did, getting ready to read them again in case I missed something.

I the starter clutch out took all of five min. I did have to use a T25 I couldn't get the T30 in so I tried the T25 and I got them out they were pretty tight had to put vice grips on the driver but it all good. The pins were stuck in side I had to drive them out I used a small drill bit

Good Part of the battle is over. You have a replcement?

irish44395 · « **Reply #45 on:** January 02, 2016, 02:57:51 PM »

I just ordered the parts form Partzilla along with a Masters cylinder rebuild kit , I got to get a carb rebuild kit yet. waiting for my JIS screwdriver to come in before I mess with the carbs. So far I am pleased with the progress going slow .
Pete

irish44395 · « **Reply #46 on:** January 07, 2016, 02:44:39 PM »

Haven't been doing much just a little cleaning waiting for my Parts they came in today will be at putting the starter clutch back together tomorrow.
Pete

irish44395 · « **Reply #47 on:** January 09, 2016, 12:02:37 PM »

Started to do the starter clutch today,Ran in a big snag. I managed to lose the
dowel pin . After not being able to find it move on to the Master cyclinder. Rebuild that with no problems. Now I have the lower brake line plug posted that story on the other thread looking for help I do want to keep them if all possible. Now I am waiting for parts again . One good thing is it had dawn on me how that starter clutch works really couldn't figure it out until I started putting it back together ,learn something new every day if your lucky

irish44395 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 18, 2016, 02:23:15 PM »

Well I think I am back on track. Got the starter clutch in today and it's turning the motor over . Got the clutch back together and button up have to put the oil pan back on and then start looking for a spark.
Pete

irish44395 · « **Reply #49 on:** January 20, 2016, 02:01:21 PM »

Today I got oil pan on oil in New spark plug wires and caps. Now I have spark That's a relief.
Got to put those t vents on the carbs put it back and see if I can get it to run and go from there.
