Hi All, The Valk has a new bit of company in the garage. I picked up this 1966 Honda 305 Scrambler (CL77) and I'm undertaking a full restoration. The engine is locked up, the exhaust is wrong and it needs everything. Back in the 60's, my dad rode a Hodaka Ace 90 but all of hs friends rode 305 Scramblers. It is TINY next to the Mothership but I can't wait to ride it. Here is a video of the walk around and my first impressons. https://youtu.be/LsZ5Iz_p4Sc?si=qlYQ2tjJJIJiF2gpRide Safe, Alien |

My Brothe daorez had one back in the day. I actually got to ride it. He had installed snuff ot not and when I rode it I'd choose not!  If a certain lady is still suckin wind she still has 2 burn scars on the inside of what was once a Beautiful left thigh. Right thigh weren't bad either!  Keep us updated on the project! RIDE SAFE. |

I'd love to mess with one some day but I know nothing about 2 strokes.

I graduated high school 1968. I was motorcycle crazy and had no money to work with. Rode junk bikes mostly. In 66 I drooled over the 305 scrambler. Hope you can make it like new again

I remember when Elvis rode the similar Honda 305 dream in the movie Roustabout.

Well, that is a project indeed.
I’ve resurrected a few like that; definitely rewarding when you get them to fire. Try putting it in second gear and rocking the machine back and forth. Usually a stuck motor will turn over if the cylinders have been soaked for a few days (Any thin oil will work).
From there it is timing chain adjustment, valves adjusted, then timing spark. I’ve always struggled with the carb floats on those sloper style engines. They are finicky on the height of the floats to get them just right.
Get it running before you do any cosmetic work; you have to see what you have in regards to engine/transmission issues before going any further.
Best of luck.
