My first motorcycle at age 16 in 1962 was a 1957 Tiger Cub that my Brother in Law bought me for $100. I rode it home from Torrance Ca to the San Bernardino mountains. I loved that bike but traded it in for a Tohatsu Runpet Sport that was really a kick. Traded that one in for a 1965 Tiger Cub that was pristine But it got stolen ( I did retrieve it though). These were/are wonderful little gems of a bygone era. Thanks for this series Paul!

Nice to see the Tiger Cub firing up. Looking forward to seeing it with some tuning. As soon I saw it not running, I thought it was 180 degrees out. I have a special talent for setting up timing 180 out (it’s my super power). Based on the two recent restorations I’ve completed, I estimated $8,000 for that project. Just over $6,000 is a steal. Oh, those medical tweezers are called a hemostat I think. I bought a set of snap-on tweezers with a set of those 35 years ago. Worth their weight in gold.

I've seen a few of your videos and hadn't realized you were in British Columbia. Tallying up the bill for your Cub raised an issue for us Canadians. Our weak dollar and escalating shipping costs make it more and more difficult to justify restoring and running vintage bikes. As snowbirds, my wife and I are fortunate enough to be able to spend winters in the warmer climes of California. I time this with acquiring my needed parts while in the US. I have saved hundreds of dollars in shipping costs alone. Not to mention the vast availability of parts in the US over Canada. Buying out of the UK/ Europe is a different story altogether. Were it not for my winter residence, my passion for old bikes would be seriously curtailed. Your Cub is a jewel and a credit to your hard work. I hope your health continues to improve and cheers from Calgary.

There were two bikes back when I was fourteen. A Honda 150 Bently and a Tiger Cub, the Honda ran like a sewing machine. No leaks, then you have the Cub, and it kicked back like a mule. Fluid leaks finicky starting. Then you rode one flat out, the longer stroke and while laying out you could reach down and start moving the distributor and hang on. One thing I remember was with a megaphone exhaust it had the sweetest back rap. Great small bike, thanks for vid.

Congratulations on the Cub first start. Hoping to get mine going soon and am planning a similar LED/Battery lighting system as I have the same ignition system as you. Great to see you back in the shop.

Those "tweezers" are Artery Forceps. Much beloved of trout fishers for taking flies out of trout jaws. (Smaller/finer ones than you have here) - they have a zillion uses apart from clamping arteries - the latter not a common job done in bike shops! Lost items down in cylinders or rollers fallen into a two stroke crankcase - grease thickly smeared onto flywheels can stick to needle rollers and fish them out - just a bit less awful than splitting cases that don't need split for legit reasons! This happened to me about thirty years back with a two stroke single that unexpectedly was found to have rollers in its little end - I'd expected the usual bronze bush. That grease dodge worked a treat, got them all out - with a little patience. The same sticky grease on a stick can be made to ease things from cylinders when you really don't want to disturb the head. Much depends on the angle of the plug hole - the more vertical the better. Nice cub you have there. Last one I had I sold for £180.... Look at what they fetch now - it's crazy time with old bike prices.

Those are some great tricks to get your TDC stopper out of the cylinder, especially with the forceps. This just reminds me that I need to get some more of them. The forceps are also excellent for pinching off fuel line and even vacuum line which comes in handy tracking down vacuum leaks. Speaking of vacuum line, I’ve used vacuum line as well as plastic air line hooked up to my vacuum pump that is normally used for leak testing. Have actually used the suction tube on my solvent siphon gun that’s powered by compressed air and the Venturi effect.

Hi Paul, your looking a lot better, hope your recovery continues going well.

I guess it's had quite a few modifications over the years? Although I worked on a lot of them at Honda dealers, personally was never a 'fan' of the CB750, too wide and too heavy although they were very useful for larger brakes and longer suspension plus pistons for conversions on CB500/550F to get a 591cc motor.

@@mitchburk5112 Yes I know what you mean. When it was out 180 degrees, I didn't think it was running, but Mitch and Yves both said it was, from different viewpoints of course. Now the jetting is out, so it's hard to tell how well it was running...

Great video - the little Cub is such a sweet little bike . . Hope it responds to carb tuning and runs like it should soon - you have made a beautiful job of it . . . Must be one of the nicest . .

Thank you very much.

Hi Paul, Nice job removing the piston stop from the cylinder. I know most people panic about dropping stuff into a cylinder, you have shown there is no need to panic. On R44 helicopters, We drop the exhaust valves back into the cylinders to ream the guides with the cylinders still installed. With a little patience the valves are jiggled back into position. Admittedly the cylinders are horizontal...

Thanks Murray. Interesting story about what you do with the exhaust valves. Never heard of that...

I restored an old moped and the coil for lights was already removed so I also went with a battery pack, good for one ride. Still have a 10W tungsten bulb in the front, have to get an LED one.

My battery is to power the lights and horn only. The Electrex ignition will run forever. Thanks for watching..
