Honda 450 Black Bomber
Hello all, my dad just got a Honda 450 given to him, it's stuck from sitting. I think it's a 1966 Black Bomber. It has dual carbs, chrome tank panels, a cafe style seat, and the speedo in the headlight housing. Anyone know anything about these and where to get parts? Thank you.

Hi Brian,
When you get the motor unstuck, one very important thing to remember. The double overhead cam, CB450 engines, take between 50 seconds and 1 minute and 10 seconds for the oil to hit the cams on initial startup, so do NOT rev the engine over around 2000 - 2500 rpms during this time, or you will wipe out the cams and followers. Also make sure you have clean oil in the crankcase.

Perhaps once it is broke loose leave the plugs out and crank it a bit before trying to start it?Be sure to visit;
