Sparplug cap resistor
Posted: 2nd June 2020 by viljem_r in Cars,bikes, vehicles, honda cx500Tags: cap, cx500, honda, ngk, resistor, sparkplug
There is 5k resistor in cap on cx500 as stock, so your spark plug don’t need it. After a time it can be burned or somehow damaged by the age. Now you can buy a iridium plug with a 5 resistor built in. Iridium sparkplugs last more time and they have better spark.
Reason why sparkplugs have resistor is mainly, because it can produce radio frequency interference, which intefers electronic devices, stereos …
You don’t need 2 serial, so you can remove it from cap. You must put then a brass rod in, which is the same length as resistor.

Welding cart for TIG or Mig welder

After buying a new ac/dc TIG welder, I immediately realized that it must be movable, so you can tacke every job. You don’t weld just on a table. I bought also MIG welder just few months later. I needed welding cart. It was made from a metal available at home. It was also a learning project of TIG welding.
Here are some pictures of it, both look almost the same for TIG and MIG welding.

Honda cx500 mechanical seal replacement, coolant leaking

Comments Off on Honda cx500 mechanical seal replacement, coolant leaking
And I saw a leaking coolant in the back of an engine. Noo!!!
After some researches I find that it’s not just seal on a pump but seal inside a water pump impeller. This seal is called mechanical seal and it is know to fail.
Maybe one of the reasons is also a that previous owner didn’t mix coolant with water and with aging coolant became aggressive and eats seals. Also you should change coolant every 5 years. Bike also wasn’t used for a few years.
I ordered a seal on ebay and cost me a 35 eur. Not a cheap one.
Time to start striping a bike. Remove carbs, flush coolant. Then I was able to remove water pump cover and here is a seal.
I could see that it was rotating on a cup, not a good thing. It should rotate on a joint with impeler. I removed it without damaging a cup. Because cup is very hard to remove and pres without removing whole engine and rear cover. Too much work. I hope I won’t need to remove it in future 🙂
I cleaned surface really good. From new seal I needed to remove a cup. Seal is glued to a cup. So you need heat and patient to remove it. I cut it with a small grinding tool to remove it easily. Don’t damege a seal.
Cleaned surface and glued it back to a old cup with water pump gasket sealer.
Installed other part of a seal on impeller, use some soap between a surfaces so it won’t stick or run dry, that is how you avoid to damage a new seal. Also don’t run a bike without a coolant.
I put it back together and leave it some time to dry.
Than assemble the whole pump.
Time to for next repair.

Honda cx500 1982
Posted: 14th January 2020 by viljem_r in Cars,bikes, vehicles, Garage, StartTags: bike, classic bikes, cx500, eurosport, honda, honda cx500
I just bought a bike Honda cx500 1982. Bike is totally stock and good shape. Needs just some small repairs.
Needs some cleaning of carbs, valve adjustment, all liquids will be replaced.
Maybe I will customize it to caffe racer or brat. Seat will be redesigned, that is for sure.
