Thanks guys. It must have been a 1964 CA95 150cc Benly as you say. I am currently working on a CA160, 1966. The last time I rode it about a month ago, it ran fine for a antique.

a challenge

Can anyone tell me the exact year and model of this bike. I owned it in 1966 and 1967. I'm pretty sure it was slightly used when I bought it from a Honda dealer near Utica, NY.I think it was a 160cc. This is the only photo that I have of it. Wish I still had it.

Great help. I can't wait to get these white walls on the Honda. It' s probably a good idea to have the tires installed at a bike shop. I will post a photo when I finally get this done. Thanks

Wow thanks so much. I naturally thought the worse, like seal or bearing that would not be replaceable .
Now I will proceed with my timing setting and tappet adjustment to see if I can get the bike to go faster that 32 mph.

oil in the dynamo

I was having some problems with my 1966 Honda CA160 and decided to reset the timing. I removed the dynamo cover and discovered some oil dripping out. After a short time all of the crankcase oil drained out ( a little over a quart ). I'm thinking that this is a bigger problem then my loss of power ...
