and compact trochoid oil pump is used. This pump
consists of an inner and an outer rotor. Th e pumping

b. Inspection and repair
The cylinder head is exposed to the high pressure
and temperature resulting from the combustion of
the fuel mixture; further, when the head is unevenly
torqued, it may develop cracks o r warpage and wil l
be the cause of defecti ve sea ling between the head
and the cylinder and resul t in gas leak, air sucking
and drop in compression.
The warpage of the cylinder head does not
develop suddenly and it may be overlooked, there- .
fo re, caution should be excersized during reassembly,
si nce the uneven torqu ing o f the cylinder head is a
ve ry common fault.
To inspect for warpage of the cylinder head,
apply a thin coat of bluing o r red lead on a surface
plate and work the mating surface of the cylinder
head on the surface plate; the warpage can be
determined by the transfer of the bluing on to the
cylinder head. (Fig. 3- 21)
To correct the warpage, lap the cylinder head
on the surface plate with a ~ 200 sandpaper, finally·
finish by using a ~400 sandpaper and then inspect
again with the bluing. (Fig. 3-22)

PISTON
Piston
Th e piston is mode fro m material corr esponding
'o JIS AC8B aluminum costing. Th is mate rial is light
o d su itable for high speed, in addition to having
g o od heat conducting property to dissipate the heat ·
rapidly. Furthermore, the coefficient of heat expansion
is small thus minimizing the warpage at elevated tem-
p erature and permitting a- small piston to cylinder
clearance design. The shop~ of t he piston is on
ellipti cal toper. The head · of the pist on, compa red
o th e skirt, is exposed to higher temperature and
since the expansion is greater, it is toperingly smaller
oword t he to p. The tapering of the piston also
ends to lessen the p.iston slop when the throttle is
figure 3- 43. Piston
lightly snapp ed without the engine being lo aded.
22 3. ENGINE
The piston employs a three step toper. The piston pin
boss area is mode thicker thereby resul ting in greater ex -
pansion a t high temperature. For this reason, the dia-
meter of the piston skirt is .mode smaller in the direction
of t he piston pin so that at th e high o perating tem -
pera ture, the piston will expand into a t rue circular
shap e. The skirt is constantly provided wit h ·flexibil ity
·o assure that no deformation w ill result even f rom
e x ende d continuous driving.
The pisto n p in is offset 1mm from t he p iston center-

2. CRANKCASE
R. era kco se The cron case, which is an integral port of the
·ro smission, is on a luminum alloy die costi ng composed .
o' righ' and left halves. A breather comportment
a d a breather passage is incorporated in the upper
se ion of both crankcase halves to dissipate the
pressure built up in the crankcase. (Fig. 3-71)
3. BREATH ER
The interior of the crankcase is continually under
varying pressure, built up by the reciprocating piston,
Figure 3-7 1. R & L crankcase in addit ion, the crankcase is fill ed with gases from
the blow-by of the pist on and the gases produced
by the heat of th e crankcase. For this reason, the
decomposition of the oil is hastened . In addition,
to gether with the rise in the crankcase internal pres-
sure, the possibil ity of oi l leaks at the case porting
area is increased.
The breather is designed and incorporated in the
case to exhaust the gases to the outside and also to
maintain a constant pressure within the crankcase .

3 .4 · CRANKSHAFT
The crankshaft is constructed o f high strength

carbon steel and together with the connecting rod,
converts the recipro cati ng motion of the piston to the
rota ry motion and, in addition, performs the function
of t he flywheel by absorbing the fluctuating torque.
The pressurized o il from the pump passes from the
right crankcase, through the right crankcase cover,
into t he cra nkshaft by the way o f the ce ntrifugal filter,
and lubricates the large end of the connecting rod
and clutch center guide. (Fig. 3- 73)

During full throttle o pe ning, t he fuel mixt ure at

high e ngine speed will become rich and at slow
engine speed he mixture becomes leon. To prevent
such a condition, air is bled i nto th e mai n jet. The
function of the air jet is to restrict the a mount of air.
As the a ir jet is mode larger, the amount of air is
increased, resu lting in a leo n fue l mixture, however,
at the t hrott le openi ng, a high engine speed will
provide a lean mixtur e with a sma ller variation i n fue l

sively from the No. 1 groove to the No. 5 groove.
(Fig. 3- 99)
e. Throttle valve
The function of the throttle valve is to co ntr o l
the amount of air token into the engine which serv es
to increase the engine RPM and the pow er output,
a nd in addition, performs the important function of
controlling the fuel air mixture . (Fig. 3-1 00)
The thro ttle valve is cut-aw ay on the air inlet
side. By changing the size of the cut-aw ay (designate d
by cut-away No.l t he pressure actuating t he ne edle
va lve ca n be altered to change the amo unt of fu el

valve with a larger cut-away number w ill produce a
leaner fuel mixtu re. However, the range of its effec-
tiveness is mai nly at low speed from idling speed to
approximately ~ thro ttle openi ng. It has no effect
beyond ;% throttle opening.
The throttle valve is normally opera ted by the
throttle cable attached to the top of the carburetor.
A throttle stop screw keeps the throttle va lve in the
idle position.
Turni ng the stop screw in will cause the throttle
valve to rise, and backing off o n the stop screw w il l
lower the thro ttl e valve .
(Caution)
The throttle valve guide groove serves as a
junction for the throttle cable and the throttle
valve and also to maintain the throttle valve in the
correct relative position within the carburetor,
therefore , if it is reve rsed, the cut-away w ill be on
the wrong sid e and will resu lt in rich fu el mixture
as well as causing insuffici ent engine speed.
f. Slow jet
The slow jet regulates the fuel now during idling
and small throttle opening, a nd p ermits th e air t o ent er
th rough the air bleed to mix with the fuel for
atomizatio n.
The slow jet is similar to th e main jet i n that th e
larger the jet size number, the greater will be the
fue l now and consequently a richer fuel air mixtur e.

b. Adju sting the Inter medi ate Sp eed

The fuel mixture adjustment between the t hrottle

the steps on the needle jet and also by the cut-away
on the t hrottle va lve. However, it is not practical to
adjust only th e intermediate speed with t he cut-away
of the t hrottle va lve since the cut-away effects the
range of throttle between 31{. to Jtr, opening. In the
intermediat e range, the jet needle sho uld b e in the

(Fig. 3-1 07)

The air which flow through the mai n bore ®

3. FLOAT CHAMBER
For 550 and 565, the fuel from the tonk enters
fu el passage @, passes by valve seat @, float valve
~ and enters float chamber @. As the fuel fill the
float chamber, the float @ rises and forces the float
valve against the valve seat with the float arm @
o shut off the fuel flow into the float chamber. As
the fuel in the float chamber is consumed and the
fuel level drops, the float also lowers with the fuel
leve l and allows the float valve to unseat from the
valve seat, permitting the fuel to enter the float
chamber. This cycle is repeated to maintain a con-
stant fuel level.
A spring is incorporated in the float valve @)
wh ere the float arm @ make contact, for th e purpose
of absorbing the shock and preventing w ea r to the
valve and seat caused by the fluctuation of the flo at Figure 3- 108. Float IS65l
wh en driving over rough road and in addition, it
serves to maintain a constant full level in the float
chamber.
Overflow pipe
If any foreign object shou ld get stuck in between
he float valve and seat and causes the fuel to over-
flo w out of the slow jet o r th e needle jet, th e fuel
will enter the engine and dilutes the oil. To prevent
such an occurance, an overflow pipe @ is incor-
po rated into the float chamber @. The outlet of the
overflow pipe @ is high er than the normal fuel level
and therefo r e, has no effect, but under overflow
condition, the fuel level rises and the overflow fuel
is drained o uiside. (Fig. 3- 108)

1. CHOKE (START! G SYSTEM)
Since it is necessary to provide a rich mixture for
a short period during cold weather starting, choke @
is incorporated. By raisi g the choke lever to the
full close position, the choke valve @ can be com-
pletely closed. A r elief va lve @ is installed on the
Q) Throttle valve c:;hoke valve and kept in the closed position by the
spring @ . When the kick pedal is kicked with the
throttle valve @ opened approximately U: ,
the suction
pressure causes the fuel to b e discharged from the
@ Choke valve
pilot outlet ® and the needl e jet @, and at the
@ Relief valve same time, the suction pressu re ca uses the relief valve
to open a proper amount, permi tting the air to enter
and produces a fuel mixture which is idea l for starting.
After t he engine starts, the sucti o n pressure i n-
@ Needle creases, opening the relief valve wider and furnishes
the co ld engine with the proper starting fuel mix ture.
In this way, the opening of the throttle valve causes
a co rr esponding opening of the relief valve and
I permits t he worming up of the engine without manip-
@ Spring ulating the choke lever. When the engine has warmed
up, merely positio n the choke valve to the fully open
@ Relief valve position. (Fig. 3- 11 0)
5. ADJUSTING THE FUEL LEVEL

It is difficult to directly measur e the fuel level,
Figure 3- 110. Choke herefore, the fu el is det ermined by measuring the
height (H ) of the float. (Fig. 3-111, 3- 112)
(1) Position the carbu retor as shown in fig. 3 .111 '
w ith the float arm pin @ to ward the top and
@ Float arm pin
the float @ at the botto m and tilt t he carburetor
to the point where the flo at arm @ is about to
break co ntact w ith the flo at valve base. This
should · occur wh en t he carburetor is ti lt ed ap-
proximately 70 ° o r at any po int between 50 ° to
70°. That is, th e fl o at arm sho uld be at a po ini
where the base of th e valve is no t compressed.
121 In this position, the float bottom @ is measured
fro m the carbureto r body @ w ith the gaug e ®
to d etermin e the height (HI. Th e to lera nce of
the float positio n is 1mm 10.040 in) bo th ways.
In o ther w ords, the gauge sho uld no t press the
Fig11re 3- 111. Fuel level adjustment
float more than 1mm, nor sho uld th ere be clear-
ance great er than 1mm between the gaug e and
the flo at. Core should be excersized in making
the measurement since th e bose o f th e valve i s
spring loaded and can b e co mpressed into the
valve in which case, th e true closing p o int of th e
valve cannot be determin ed.

Inspection Procedure
(ll Hard starting
First conduct the spark performance test in section 4 (1 I and check to see that the condition of the spark
plug is satisfactory; perform the starting operation and if a good spark is produced at the plug gap, it indicates
that the ignition coil, magnet and breaker are all in satisfactory condition. The fault can be assumed to be in
the timing. When no spark is produced, check the breaker, ignition coil and flywheel A.C. generator.
(21 W henever there is any malfunction of the lamps or the battery system, first check for poor wiring connection
or grounding. Next, start the engine and measure the voltage at the output terminals. If the output vo ltage
are normal, check the battery and the lighting system for troub le.
5.4 SPARK ADVANCER

Spark advancer
The C50M, C65M use the battery as a source of
power and produces the high voltage spark across the
plug gap w ith the ignition coil and ' contact breaker.
However, a good strong spark is of little value unless
the sparking is timed to the engine's requirement.
For this purpose, a spark advancer is incorporated to
automatica lly regulate the ignition timing. The spark
advance characteri stic is shown in Fig 5. 14.

The battery is being recharged all the while the
engine is running . Further, while running, the load such
as the use of the turn signal lamps horn are placed on
the battery (discharged!, as the resu lt, the battery is
qeing discharged at the same time it is being re-
charged. In the long run, the discharge and the
recharge is in balance. The system has been designed
in this manner. Under certain condition when the
balance is upset, then trouble develops.
To obtain maximum life from the battery, it is
necessary to locale t his trouble and toke the appro-
priate action early. ,

The operation o f the engine ca n be determined

by the condition of the plug. The firing area of the
insulator colored white, gray or light gray indicates
good condition and is performing satisfacto rily.
2. HEAT RANGE OF THE SPARK PLUG
The firing area of the spa rk plug insulator is

exposed to ca rbon and oil while the engine is o perat-
ing, and to prevent its build-up, plugs are designed
to burn off any deposits by the heat of combustion.
Spark plugs which are too cold wil l not burn off the
carbon and oil deposits and wi ll cause shorting of
the high tension voltage resulting in the engine to
misfire . In the opposite case, the power output will
be drastically reduced .
In order to prevent the above troubles, the surface
of the insulator firing area must be maintained at
approximately 500-870°C 1932-1600° Fl range. This Metal packing
temperature is referred to as the self-cl eaning
temperature.
The temperature of the spark plug will vary to a
considerable degree with the type engine and de- gap

A. ENGINE ADJUSTMENT
l. MEASURING COMPRESSION
A low compression pressure will result in a cor-
responding drop in the engine power output. Pressure
leak f rom any cause may effect the engine speed
adiustment at low speed and cause engine stal l.
a . Remove the spark plug.
b. Insert the end of the compression gauge into the
spark plug hole and hold fir mly to prevent pre-
ssure from leaking. (Fig. 6-1}

e. In case the compression pressure exceeds 14kg/ cm2
1200 lb/in 2 ), it is an indication of heavy carbon
deposit accumulation on the cylind er head or the
piston. The deposits shou ld be removed by disa -
ssemblying the cylin der head from th e cylinder.

Inspect the surfaces o f he contact points; if they
Normal Worn contact point are burnt or pitted, dress the surface with an oilstone
or a point dressing file so that the center of the
points are making contact. (Fig. 6-10, 6-11)
After the points have been dressed, wash i n
Side contacting gasoline or trichloroethylene to remove all trace of
oil.
Insufficient breaker point gap

Dirty contact @ The spark tends to linger, that is the interruption
points o f the primary circuit is not completed at the
points, therefore, the secondary high voltage
condition build-up is reduced.
Figure 6-11. Breaker
(6) The closed duration of the points is longer,
producing heat and result ing in damage.
@ In conjunction with (6) above, the points wil l be
late in opening with a consequent delay in t he
ignition timing ; this will cause a drop in power
o utput.
Excessive breaker point gap

@ The duration that the points are closed is too
short to allow for sufficient current f1ow in the
primary circuit with a consequent low voltage
build-up in the secondary or the high tension
vo ltage circuit. This condition w i ll cause poor
engine starting, spark missing at high speed and
a consequent loss of power.

5. SPARK PLUG ADJUSTMENT

A dirty or damaged spark plugs, or plug electrod e
which are er r o ded will not product a good strong
spark, therefore, the spar k plugs shou ld be inspected
perio dically and cleaning and adjustments made. Spark
plugs with sooty, wet electrodes, o r e lectrodes
cover ed with deposits w ill permit t he high t ension
vo ltage to bypass the gap without sparking.
1. Cleaning
a. The use o f the spar k plug cleaner is the r ecom -
mended method of cleaning the plugs, however,
Figure 6- 13. Measuring spark gop
a satisfactory cleaning can be perfo rmed by
using a needle o r a stiff wire to remove the
d eposits and then wash in gasoline fo llowed by
drying with a r ag. (Fig. 6- 12)

(2) When installing the spark p lugs, clean the seating
area free of oil or for eign matter and i nstall
finger t ight before torquing with a plug wrench.
(3) The spark p lugs con be tested after adjustment,
with the p lug tester. With the high tension vo ltage
maintained constant, vary the test chamber pres-
sure and inspect the condition of the spark.
6. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM

Restriction in the fue l supply system will prevent
·sufficient fuel flow to the carburetor and cause engine
to sputter during acce leration or the engine may stall
at high speed.
a. Check for sufficient supp ly of fuel in the tank.
b. Disconnect the fuel feed tube from the carburetor
and check the fuel flow with the fuel cock in the
ON o r the RES position. (Fig. 6-15)
c. If the fue l flow is insuffici ent, remove th e fuel tank
fr o m th e body and clean internally . Wh en the
flow is sti ll inadequate, remove the fuel cock,
disassemble and clean .
(Caution)
CD Th e insufficient fu el flow may be caused by th e
plugged vent ho le in th e filler cap as we ll as

10. CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

(550, 565)
The function of the clutch is to transmit or dis-
engage the rotary power produced by the engine
to the transmission. If the gear is engaged without
the c lutch bei ng completely disengaged, the vehicle Figure 6- 23. Clutch lever free plot
will start moving with a jolt or the engine will stall
out. On the other hand, if the clutch is slipping,
the speed of the motorcyc le will log in relation t o
the engine speed.

11 . CARBURETOR CLEANING AND ADJUSTMENT

A dirty carburetor or carbu retor out of ad just-
ment wil l cause poor engine performance. As on
example, a ca r bureto r set to a lean fuel a ir mixtur e
will cause the engine t o over heat whil e a rich mixtur e
wil l cause engine to run sluggish. An overnowing o f
fuel from t he ca rbur etor is a possi ble fire hazard,
there fore, periodic clea ning and ad justment shou ld b e
per forme d.

B. LUBRICATING
The purpose of lubricat ion is to prevent dir ect
sur face to surface contact of the movi ng parts by
providing a film o f oi l between th e surfaces and t here-
by, red ucing friction and preventing wear. It also
serves to coo l t he parts from the heat pr oduced by
fr iction .
Furth er, t he lubr icant penetrat es between the piston
and cylinder to for m a n o il film which act as a seal
t o maintain t he cylinder pressure.

Oil Brand and Grade
Honda ultra oil is r ecommended . The grade of o il
for the season is shown o n the R. crankcase lover .
When the Honda ultra oil is not available, use the
oil corresp o nding to MS. DG or DM in the A.P. I.
service classification .

(Note)
I l l Oil plays a prominent role in the life and the
trouble free performance of an engine, ther e-
figure 6- 31. Ultra oils fore, it is very ·important that the oil change
be performed periodically and refrain fro m
using dirty oil over a long period. The mor e
frequent the oil change, the better it is for
the engine.
121 When refilling o r adding o il, it should not be
filled above the specified level. Overfilling wi ll
cause oil pumping and loss of power.
131 Use only recommend ed oil.
3. GREASING

C. DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

An excessively slack drive chain will cause cho ir:
to whip, whereas an over-tension condition wi ll produce
resistance, resulting in lowering the power output a·

E. MUFFLER CLEANING
The function of the muffler is to muffle the noise

of the exhaust gases as it is emitted from the com-
bustion chamber. In the process, t he carbon particles
in the gas accumulates on the muffler and the diffuser
pipe. Excess a ccumul ation of the carbon will restrict
th e now of th e exhaust gas, creating back pressure
which effects th e engine perfo rmanc e by lowering the
power o utput.
1. Clea ning
a. Remove the diffuser pipe locking bolt and pull
o ut the diffuser pipe (Fig. 6-39)
Figure 6- 39. Removing di';user pipe
b . Top t he pipe lightly to remove the carbon and
hen wash in so lvent or gasoline (Fig. 6-40)
The c logging of the diffuser pipe will cause a
Diffuser pipe drop in the engi ne power output. A loose
connection at t he gasket jo int will produce
und esi reab le noise fro m leaki ng exhaust gas.
F. SPOKE TORQUING
Riding with loo se spoke will place on ununiform

loading on the rim os we ll as on the remaining spokes,
Fig ure 6- 40. Cleaning diffuser pipe therefore, the spokes should be inspected frequently
and retorqued when they become loose.
Raise the wheel off the ground and check each
spoke for tightness, any spoke w hich are noticeably
loose should be torqued to the same value as the
remaining spokes so that the spokes are a ll of uniform
torque. Use the spoke nipple tool and torquing
wrench. (Fig. 6- 41)
