I asked around, and found it might be a sticking float causing the leak through the overflow pipe. Looks like I need a full rebuild, unless I can get it unstuck. . .

Ok! I've found what I believe to be the leak! Now, what's supposed to be connected here, or is it an overflow? It's between the two right-hand carburetors.

The thread! here!

After some time whining, a wonderful lurking member (thanks, Allen!) approached me with the offer to buy his beautiful 1986 Aspencade. It's in great condition overall, but Covid forced him to park it for nearly two years. As we all know, any time you park a carbureted bike without advanced...

Finally, a new bike appears in the stable! More details soon in a new thread!

The hardest thing in life is realizing you let something go that you possibly shouldn't have. I've done it too many times with bikes. All I can say is to think really hard for a while before deciding to sell again.

Sorted 24 out of date tires at work. . . 😮‍💨 and It's not even noon yet. . .

Welcome! Double-check that those valves don't cross-reference to any other motors in the Honda range, or even automotive. I've seen weird stuff like that before with other vehicles. . .

I'm always interested in another toy, if the budget allows. My wife's rules are easier, but they are: Does it have a clean title? Does it run? The unspoken third rule is that it has to fit in our budget. 😅 But otherwise, Projects can be fun. Just be careful it's not a chopped hipster bike. . .

Looking fantastic!

UPDATE! I've entered into an agreement to purchase an 86 Aspencade from a fine gentleman who contacted me through this forum. It's gorgeous, as he cared for it very well, my wife loves it (essential), and he's willing to be patient with payment. I'll start a fresh thread when it's finally home!

This is gorgeous! It's a damn shame my budget doesn't support such purchases! I hope you get this sold to a new owner that will care for it!

Wonderful story, great conversion! I will keep note of this!

Glad to hear it finally sold. Shame I lacked the funds, I would have made it less painful. LOL

Welcome!

A little scuzzy, but definitely a challenge!

Hell of a good deal, man! Good for you! I've never received an offer like that. . . maybe I should go to more motorcycle social events in my area. . . LOL

Seems like a neat little ride!

Wishing you the best of luck, man! A passion project, that runs, is a wonderful thing indeed!
