I recall posting some writing and pictures about CB77 side stands, on the original "static pages" area of the honda305.com website - my 1964 CP77 had one. That was a few decades ago, but you can find the info with some searching - all the original parts of the website are still there...

Are your spark plug resistor types? I would try confirmed 'non-resistor' plugs with your original leads and caps - and 'resistor' plugs with the new caps.
Re: Bill's CB77 Retirement ProjectI have a lot of respect for "rustorations" and most of my projects are on that level. Patina can be a deep asset and easily lost. I take great delight in having a variety of machinery working well, regardless of the cosmetics. When I can afford it, I buy something in great condition and do my best t...
