Honda CT90 Engine Reassembly

Image
I have one 1971 CT90 where I was going to rebuild the clutch because the kickstarter just wasn't turning over the engine like it used too,  and I also had a Big Bore kit from DrATV that I wanted to install. My intent was to just do the top end and rebuild the clutch with new disks, but when I opened up the cases to rebuild the clutch pack I found a slick black slime in the bottom of the case.  I didn't like the idea that there could be black slime in the rest of the engine, so I decided to disassemble the entire engine to make sure I cleaned everything out.  Since I was tearing everything apart I thought I would document step by step how everything goes back together in this post in case others were interested in knowing what the inner workings of a CT90 engine look like.

A 3D Printed Points Cover for Use On a Honda CT90

Image
 I have a long list of items that I want to create designs for that can be 3D printed and one of those that I decided to do recently was to back engineer the aluminum points cover from a CT90 and create a model so that I could 3D print the cover. The points cover on a Honda CT90 is really just a vented dust cover to keep the points clean, so it seemed to be a natural to turn into a 3D printed part. Here is a picture of the final 3D part installed on one of my CT90's

Using ChatGPT as a Tool to Help Work on Your Honda CT90

Image
 The artificial intelligence tool on the internet known as ChatGPT has been a hot topic in the news lately, so I thought I would go in and give it a try and ask it a few questions about Honda CT90's. I've just started to play around with ChatGPT, but my first impression is that I am going to find it a very useful tool going forward. The best thing about ChatGPT is that is answers the question you ask.  When you use a typical search engine like Google it tends to give you a page with responses that are more focused at trying to sell you something and it can be difficult to find a link with information that answers your question. With ChatGPT it simply tries to answer your specific question, nothing more and nothing less, as you'll see in some of the examples I share below. To actually use ChatGPT you need to go to the OpenAI website (OpenAI created ChatGPT) and create an account.   Here is a link to their webpage where you can set up an account.
