- MR TWEED CONTINUES WITH THE CARB OVERHAUL, DELVES INTO THE CENTRIFUGAL OIL FILTER, MACHINES A FEW PARTS,WRESTLES WITH A FEW SCREWS AND CARRIES OUT A BIT OF THREAD IDENTIFICATION AMONGST OTHER THINGS...
David Silver spares has the screws for the ignition cover plate which I believe are the same as the oil filter cover plate, you can check on your bike!👍 hope it helps, great videos!😁
I shall check it out👍
Another great instructional video. Thanks Mr Tweed. The Bridgestone m5, m4, m3 threads were all pre-iso threads. M6 & M8 were standard threads. M10 and M12 were 1.25mm pitch.
Cheers

Cheers for that Ray.....another screw thread wormhole to disappear down....and i thought it was just Imperial threads that were bloody awkward 😄
@@TweedsGarage I have acquired a 1967 Australian Army BSA B40...bloody 26 tpi. 😆 🤣 😂

@@raymondkinch3766 I'm sure you'll find a smattering of cycle, BSF, BSC, Whitworth, and BA on your way round the beast
From Mr Tweed.." dear Mr Atlas. I've done the course now please send the muscles. 😂😂😂
I've got another 2 days of the course to go Vince, probably just a late developer
Put some clear hose on the carb float bowl drain, making it higher than the carb. Connect some fuel and undo the drain screw, this will show the actual float level.
that's a handy hint indeed, thanks for that
Geniusness. 😁
Congrats on crossing 3K subscribers! I know a great deal of effort and creativity goes in to each video you make, so well deserved. Looking forward to the shop tour. Got my note pad and pen handy, and my “look around you” exercise book to follow along with.
Bloody hell!!!....." look around you" .....that ages us a bit
I’ve never seen a mechanically driven centrifugal oil filter before only ever seen the type that are spun by two oil jets so that was interesting. What am I saying it’s always interesting here thanks for the fun.
thanks Steve, glad someone finds it interesting , Mrs Tweed calls it guff
Last time I saw a centrifugal oil filter was on a Simca 1301 in the late 70's. Haven't come across one before or since.
4mm x .75 was the old French standard before ISO came in. 3BA is a close match 4.0894 mm.
Modern BMW cars still use them to supplement the canister.
Honda used it in the C90 through to the 125 Super Cub until the latest revamp 2 years ago to a replaceable element.
As for the centrifugal oil filter screws have a look at the single cylinder Honda's i.e CG125,CB100/125,XL125,185 as all have this type of filter and may have the same pitch screws.
iv'e looked into it and it appears mine is an early example before Honda started using ISO metric standards in the late 60's so they would be 4mm with .70 pitch rather than .75 pitch this one is and don't fit, the part number is now obsolete.
Good job Allan, Have you ever considered doing a Workshop Tour video? ;-)
Now look Jason, you're meant to be spending your day off down the workshop, not watching TH-cam and badgering me 😁😉
I just measured a vw tdi 90 oil filter that could make an air filter,very similar. 15 x 6.5 cm. Alco md 355 part. Breathing though it seems similar.
Cheers for that Nigel, I shall check that out.
Typical price £7 including. shipping
Enjoy your intro humour and the video content once again from the trout fella down under.
Cheers Trouty 😁
Little victories... Motorcycle owners always do two things... 1st, after buying the bike they immediately lose all the legal paperwork. 2nd, they tighten every nut, bolt and screw with a four-foot breaker bar. I can't wait to see what horrors still await you. Cheers and all the best from a shed in Iowa
And don't forget loosing the spare key and tool kit......
@@TweedsGarage 😆
Very handy the Honda Spares Guy,enjoyed the video once again.
@@chrissills962 he is indeed
Nice fettling on your ring. I'm sure Jenkins is taking notice of your perfect nuts.
Your subscriptions may have increased because many had Honda's in the day unlike those with Bantams who are mostly dead!
I'm sure now they've found your channel they'll have hours of entertainment ahead.
now Colin I don't condone that kind of innuendo................what am I saying, of course I do.
Marvellous Mr Tweed, simply marvellous. In my mind, interlude No.1 music was 'Steve McQueen meets pretty girl in bar" and interlude No.2 was "80's school science TV show about how steel is manufactured'. Was I close?
Best wishes, Dean.
Who knows what goes on in your mind Dean........but it sounds fun 😁
Watershed subscription Mr T, well deserved. Great content and I had ice cream with nuts during the intervals. You cater for all your viewer's foibles. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Mr B, couldn't of done it without Mr Tweed's Irregulars 🫡
Another awesome video.
Thanks Chap
Poor Jenkins takes the heat for everything. 😂
Congrats on your 3k+ subscribers.👍
don't feel sorry for him, he'll sense your weakness and be constantly badgering you to feed his Sherbet Fountain habit ( and thanks, couldn't manage without you guys and girls )
Love it! Same centrifugal filter used on my Honda Innova 125 - and most subsequent Honda small bikes I think, till 2024 models which now have “proper” filters. Looking forward to hearing it / seeing it running. Oh, and the fork top-nuts are spectacular, stainless steel? Les
stainless steel indeed Les........well I think so as it came out of my ramshackle metal stock bin..........only time and the British climate will tell ;-)
What a splendid set of bolts - top notch! Did Jenkins help?
What do you think.......
@@TweedsGarage it does look more like your work 😉
I’ve got to try that tidying up technique 🤣🤣🤣
the harder you stamp the flatter it gets...
Have you tried David Silver spares for the screws Alan 😊😊
That indeed is the man that the last batch of spares have been procured from :-)
I'm not old. I'm barely run in!
That's what we all say until we get out of bed too quickly 😉
Tempting to tap the threads to 0.7mm, would probably work.
I am looking at tap and die options, annoyingly i bet there's a box of m4 x 0.75 pitch machine screws in a shed in Japan going spare .........
Maybe get someone with a 3D printer to make you some type of housing for filter material Mr Tweed if you cannot source something suitable? Its a faff for sure.
That is a thought Robbie but I am under threat of violence from S.W.M.B.O that I'm allowed no more hobbies ( but I may turn something up on the lathe )
@@TweedsGarage She is the great SWMBO and its very magnanimous of her that she lets you use the lathe! XD
A very nice press and cup you made for the mesh Mr Tweed. But I don’t think that there Titanium likes solder very much does it?
it wasn't happy about it but the solder flowed around the mesh locking it in and a small application of epoxy caught any stray edges.
@@TweedsGarage You can always take it out if you fit a proper filter.
