Excessive Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi :) I have come apon a 350t. It is abit of a mutt but it looks usable as a play bike. I'm trying to get it started. Carb has been taken of and cleaned. When kicking I get abit of a back fire but that's it. I want to go through the ignition. Where is the condensor located . Is it located with the points ? thanks in advance Lyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Unless its been modified the condenser lives next to the contact breakers (points). These are behind the flywheel. Check that the contact breakers are not stuck open they tend to stick if left for long periods. If the ignition had been modified then the condenser may have been relocated, usually under the fuel tank and mounted to the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessive Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks for the info. Guess I have to invest in a puller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 As a starting point, clean the points with a points file, new plug and check for spark. too many points in that answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessive Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 What is the proper plug ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessive Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Got the flywheel off. Made my own puller Can a different (easier to get ) condensor be used ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Honda CT 90 condenser is good as it has it's own mounting tab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessive Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Turns out the key was sheared off. Guess I gotta fix that first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessive Posted May 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Now to find a tiny little key like this. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiggs Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Looks like a standard half-moon Woodruff Key. Unless it's been metricated, it could be a standard 1/8 inch width. I have known some people that could make their own, out of mild steel bar. Try to clean up the gaulled shaft taper, and flywheel... At least you now know why it was backfiring.. .

nigel dabster Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) You understand what a key does @Excessive? Edited May 19, 2020 by nigel dabster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessive Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I think so . But insight is always welcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessive Posted May 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Found a new woodruff key. Got it timed as close to spec as I could. Got a new condensor and relocated under the tank. Bike is now a runner. A little iffy but the gas is very old. Fresh gas and plug is next on the agenda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 woodruffe is purely for location. I would lap your flywheel to match the taper, to ensure it doesnt shear again, to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
