The component on the oil filter cover is the non return valve.. I learnt the hard way when I forgot to re-install it after I rebuilt mine, getting down the road I heard this high pitch sound sound coming from the tacho cable.. was the sound of the top end starving to death from oil.. then she locked up! DOH!
a lot of what you show also applies to the cd175 as same engine as cb cl 175 only difference is cd has 6 volt electrics and single carb and is 4 speed not 5 , i have had engine restored on my cd , but had 5 speed box fitted and converted to 12v electrics .
Nearly died on my cb175. On ‘L’ plates with no particular road sense, I drove mine into a tractor at 45-50mph. Amazingly, all I suffered was concussion, a broken right wrist, a cut knee and a cut under my chin from the helmet strap.
Enjoyed your video of the CB175. I’m currently doing a CB175 identical to the one you repaired although mine is not nearly as nice. I’m very curious if you found any information on the cable routing and wire harness near the front of the gas tank? Thank you.
Harness routing runs from underneath the frame along the side to a clip/tie attached opposite ignition coil mount that the throttle cable also rests on. It runs from there to underneath the gas tank mount and up to the headlight bucket with slight slack as to not impede handlebar turning. Look at CMSNL website for your model under the wiring harness parts diagram and it’ll give you a better understanding of the routing a long with replacing the mounting clip/tie if yours has been misplaced.
I have a 1973 175 CLl that I'm debating on restoring. Unfortunately it is seized up at the moment. I would be okay putting a couple grand into it but not sure that will cover it. Any thoughts?
@@MotoRestoFL Haha...been there felt that. Not looking to flip. I've owned it since new. Just emotional now. I probably just need to get it out of the garage so I quit thinking about it.
Depends. Partzilla.com for OEM stuff, Z1Enterprises for a lot of aftermarket, Randakk's for a lot of Honda Specific stuff, Niche Cycle Supply for Mikuni and Keihin jets, eBay sometimes. If you have something specific I could be more exact.
When you consider this is now a 50 year old motorcycle to be used as a daily rider . . . .amazing.
love the old Honda CBs!
Very professional work. Appreciate your knowledge and skill!
Too nice of a bike to give it to someone to learn on.
My first was a 1971 cb 175 . Loved it at 16 yo.
Enjoying your meticulous nature; even on the smallest of details.
Keep the videos coming 👏👏

Not overly long at all. Very informative and well developed. Nice work
My first bike was this exact model and color - absolutely loved it for getting around on short hops.
Same here rode one to high school. It had loud pipes. Fun times!

Thanks for the nice video. Good comments on carb floats.
Cool video, thanks for your insights.

Ouch.
I had one the same colour. A 1974 model.
Hi, nice informative video. I have a '73 in this same color. The clutch is hard to pull, I think it's an old cable.
Thanks. Change that cable before it leaves you stranded. Cheers.
Stiffer than Peter North...hilarious!
I got a million of them. Stick around. Subscribe like and share. Thanks.

I don’t recall. If so, it would be the service manual.
Oh and thanks for watching and commenting.

@@richieortiz5 Thank you for the information on routing the wire harness.

Yes. Estimate a budget and double it. Doubtful you’ll turn a profit unless it’s in pristine condition and all there is to do is mechanical.

Did I miss you cleaning out the centrifugal oil filter? Worth doing every second oil change (every 1000 mile for changes).
I may have. I honestly don’t remember. 🙄
May I ask where you order your parts from? Thanks in advance.

Not at the moment but thank you very much!
I want to buy a Honda. Can you ship it to Türkiye?
Nope. I don’t do that.
