Welcome to all who have joined, when you get a chance introduce yourself and tell us a little about you and your bike. I've had my 1979 CM185 Twinstar (on the...
Thanks for the welcome! I'm having trouble of my own with my 78 CM185 Twinstar, it starts easy but to keep it running you have to keep the throddle wide open,...
Gayle, The problem is that is a special headlight unit and they really are expensive. There is no universal replacement for it. But help is on the way I...
I am in the same boat ~ my '78 needs a headlight along with misc. other items (tires, chain & sprockets, exhaust, etc.)... Can you tell me more about the...
I have posted a few photos of the headlight and muffler in the photos section. The headlight is for the European model of the '78-'79 CM185. I don't have a...
Terry , Did you get my last email that I sent? Yes, I will take you up on your offer on the headlight. Just let me know what the shipping cost is. Thanks! ...
Josh, I got the email, I've just been really busy. Monday is the only day of the week I can ship anything. I'll try to get it sent to you next week. Terry ... ...
Hey all- First of all, thanks for letting me join the group! I've owned a 1982 CM200T for a little over 12 years, and have completely customized it twice....
That is awesome JHM! I hope everyone will feel free to share their photos, experiences and projects as well as any questions they have. Terry Sanderson ... ...
Hey there! I had a few questions I wanted to ask regarding performance increases. I'll lay out the basics first, I reckon. I have a 1982 CM200T, with a...
I am not a Twinstar expert - I just own one (1980) that is some where between a parts bike and a complete 4K miles clean machine. Don't know yet where to go...
... I checked two of my main sources for another fuel tank, but I wasn't able to find anything. There was another place that I could've sworn had some, but...
Thanks. I just don't want to spend over $100 for a tank when I got the whole bike for $200. Then they want a cap and a petcock extra. I bought an XR tank...
Does anyone know if there is a oring at the top of float valve? Either I am not getting a good seal there or the float is sticking. I have taken the carb...
There's no o-ring on the float valve, but you may want to make sure the end of the valve is not damaged. It sounds like the little metal tab which the valve...
I am still running the stock sprockets on my CM185, but that is about to change. I have a new set of stock sprockets that have drilled many holes in to...
... filter to install on the bike. Did the new carb make that much of a difference? I'm trying to figure out why I can hit 65 in 3rd gear, but not much more...
The carb is a bolt on, but I have not installed it yet. Terry Sanderson ... From: Yes I have one To: HondaTwinstar@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007...
It is new, I got it on eBay. I think it was about $60 for carb, filter and shipping. ... From: Mike Murch To: HondaTwinstar@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July...
... about to change. Well, I found out that my sprocket ratio is to blame for my decreased top speed. It seems the little Honda mill can't crank out enough...
I found my old 15-tooth front sprocket in my toolbox, and since it wasn't worn much at all, I decided to replace the taller 16-tooth with the stock size....
No, it is still not working. Could be the brass fitting that goes on the fuel hose is messed up, I can't tell. Maybe I will get a new carb like Terry did. I...
Mike- I still have the used airbox assembly (sans filter and rubber hose) I bought some time ago on eBay. Ditto with the original Twinstar petcock. Let me...
...just a thought... Have you verified that your carb. float is not installed upsidedown? I made this mistake when I first had my carb. apart and dealt with...
Thanks for the tip. It is installed correctly. I should put a kit in it but most likely will buy a new carb like Terry did. I have not paid much attention to...
No I have been working on other areas of the bike. I changed out my original pitted forks with a perfect set. I also changed out the stock handlebars to...
