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...
Good evening. I joined a few weeks ago and finally have a little time to post. I normally wouldn't join a group this small simply because the probability of...
Sounds like your on the road to getting your bike in decent running order. Trying to find your headlight is a pain. I know I've at 78 185 Twinstar with 6 volt...
I noticed that the headlight is very similar is size to my CT90. The connector is different but that is not a big problem. CT90s are 6 volt and very popular....
The headlight is a 5 inch. Sealed beam with a bulb sweated in. I believe the CT90 has a replaceable lamp bulb. Appreciate the thought Mike. I bought a 5...
The original CT90 bulbs are 6v sealed beams. They have a replacement at the site I previously mentioned for about $35. Many don't want to pay that and have...
Mike, Thank you very much for the diligent research. Your help means a lot to me. I'm all over both of those items. Dean Rogers ... From: "Mike Murch"...
