New!!! Honda Mini Trail 70 & Mini Trail 50 Carb Restoration

Carb & Flywheel Cover Restoration

	First we polish the shinny protruding section with the Honda logo on it. Again tripoli with a 6"stitched muslin buff is used.

	Mask off the raised portion of the cover with 3/4" masking tape. Next sand the scratches with some 600 grit sand paper and scuff up the old paint so the new paint will stick.

	A couple light coats of silver paint is all you need to give this cover a like new look.

	Flywheel cover finished piece.
Carburetor Restoration
	First take every nut and bolt and screw apart. Note the old gasoline in the bowl. This carb had no chance of starting .

	We put the carb and parts into an jewelry cleaning ultrasonic cleaner for three hours at 200° almost boiling temperatures.

	We clean each piece with a steam cleaner shooting out 80 pounds of hot steam. We go over each piece to blast off what ever residue is left before we re-assemble the carb.

This is the carb after a 200° bath for three hours in a jewelers ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machine.

This machine sends an electrical current through the cleaning solution to break-up any dirt and it comes out beautiful!

This steel 1" brush can be used on a Dremel or Fordom to give the original finish back to these brass carb fittings.

The carb choke lever we rubber wheeled with a 1 " aluminum oxide wheel to get the pits out. With our home gold plating system we re-cadmium plate the lever back to almost perfect condition.

	This carb kit is the best on the market. It includes every single carb part you will need. One thing it does not tell you is the fact that the needle set going through the carb slide must be put in the middle position for this carb to have full power.

	This is the finished carb on our green 1971 Honda 4 speed CT70H. We installed it and could not believe it started first kick. Honest. The front carb screw is the idle mixture and should be set to 1,300 RPM's. The idle mixture screw is the lower one to the back of the carb. It should be adjusted to 1 3/4 -1 3/8's turns out from closed position. These pictures do not do this carb justice!!! Carb rebuild kit now available from Bill at Northeast Vintage Cycle.

	If you're going to do all this work on the carb, you may as well put new fuel lines on at the same time. The 30 year old lines are dried up and do not hold gas on my bikes. I have rebuild this carb for the second time because gas was leaking from it on the engine. I rebuilt carbs on both my low mileage bikes, only to find the fuel hoses were clogged again too. And now old dried gas from my old hoses is in my freshly cleaned carb. The hoses and the little end clips are still available from your local Honda parts dealer.
	Gas hoses and end clips are availble from Jack at at www.dratv.com. We found Jack to be knowledgeable, friendly and with fast shipping.
	This is my 1971 four speed that I ride everyday. My buddy Ronnie who works with me here had a great idea about oiling the chains the other day. We oiled the chains on both the bikes we ride and they now go 4 miles per hour faster than before. That's a lot of difference from 43 to 47 miles per hour just because we oiled the chain!!!
