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.

Using a Spark Plug from my Subaru Outback on my CT90!

 I was changing the spark plugs on my 2015 Subaru Outback the other day, which isn't the most enjoyable task, but while cleaning up and putting away my tools, I noticed that the old plugs I pulled out of my Subaru had the same M14x1.25 thread as what is used on the standard D8HA CT90 spark plug.
