the Honda CBX has only one weak point: - that are the two carbon-brushes which run in the generator and are responsible for the charging...! 1) you need to buy a set of those brushes A and B (not the same) 2) to replace them you need to be a skilled mechanic as you need to remove and open the generator... 3) if you are not experienced you better let a Honda Dealer do it for you. - as this has to be done regularly there is a conversion kit available at TIMS CBX to avoid it

- after some time sitting and not started the engine, the fuel in the carburetors are empty... - you need to crank the engine many times to fill the carburetors again up. if that does not help you might use a starter spray applied to the air intake with air filter removed under the seat while cranking the engine which you can buy in any carshop. I have to do that every spring after the winter of no use. with a good battery it will help almost ever...

with your symptoms it could be bad or old gas, wrong or old oil, blow-by (oil getting into the combustion chamber) or worn valve guide. This symptom could also be related to the carburetor. If you are running the air/fuel mixture too lean or rich, then it could be fouling the plugs or over-heating the cylinder. What have you inspected? What tests have you run so far? How old are the spark plugs? Have you been inspecting them periodically? A compression test will help narrow down your search. I hope to hear back from you. Let me know if you have more questions but you have a bit of work ahead of you. Good luck.

the shut off valves for the float bowl are probably stuck-or not seating properly --remove the carbueretors and remove the float bowls ( the bottom covers ) - the valves are over the floats, near the pivot point -remove the pins that hold the floats - and remove the floats - the valves may be attached to the floats with a small klip --inspect and clean the valve and the valve seat

it could be your stator has given up not allowing the battery to pick up a charge

Glazed alternator clutch plates? Kind of a ratcheting sound? Common when oil wasn't changed or sitting unused too long.
1. Easy fix - drain oil, remove filter. Add diesel fuel to crankcase. Turn engine over. let sit and drain. Refill with new nonsynthetic oil and replace filter. Warm up. Drain, remove filter. Refill with fresh nonsynthetic oil, and install new filter.
2. Harder, but better. Remove plates and clean or replace them.

I have twou TMX155 pero di naman masyadong nagiging problema ang Timing madali lang yan kung bago ang spark plug mo your not required to udjust it anymore kasi standard na po iyon, better chek the contactpoit kung sakto po sa kompresion stoke dapat po mga 15degrees po befor the top dedcenter compresion stroke nag start na po bumukas yung contact point, or 30 degrees befor top ded center dumidikit na po yung camlobe sa contactpoit arm yunpong camlobe yunpo yung nandun sa magneto na natatangal minsan yung may spring makikita nyo po yung isang side ng outside surface e mas mataas kesa dunsa kabila allways put the camlobe inline w/ the keyway po yung kunya yung parang half moon, pag ganon po ang alighnement ay walang problema, then balik po sa contact point timing kung tama din po yung timing, at nag luluko parin dapat po check nyo na yung ignition coil baka po damage na pag malamig pa ok pero po pag uminit na nagbabago napo yung delivery ng koryente so it should be replaced na, pag po ang TMX ay gamit na gamit sa tricycle after 6 years po ang advice kopo palitan po ang ignition coil, carburador at yung camlobe, para po maiwasan na palaging nagluluko kasi po wornout na po iyung mga pyesa, yung carburador pag 6 years na naka trycicle matakaw na po sa gasulina maski palitan pa ng karayum at dinarin po bumababa ang minor, yun naman pong camlobe ay masyado napng mababa kya mahirap na pong makuha yung accurate timing, yun namang ignition coil ay mahina na ang deliver ng koryente. ibang mechanick dinila inaadvice ito kasi ayaw nila gumastos ang costomer pero mas makakatipid kayo dito kesa pabalik balik sa mekaniko. yunpong makina as long na inaalagaan po ninyo sa langis dipo agad masisira yan at aslong na di anaabuso yung sobrang tulin sobrang bigat ng hatak aabot po yan ng 8 to 9 years bago mag overhoul. tnk's (ashley mercado)

the float bowl evaporates in a little over a week .
When the system has some movement added to it ,the bowl will re-fill.If it were fuel injected the fuel pump would add pressure to the fuel system right away.
There might be an after market fuel pump that is electric that might solve your problem all together.
Good luck,Gary

On the flywheel is a one-way clutch. It matches to a large starter gear that turns the motor over if the smooth surface on the large starter gear has become chattered/no longer smooth the you will need to replace it and the three rollers in the starter clutch to make the starter grab and turn over the motor. On the diagram you are looking at part numbers 28 and 15. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1981-honda-cb650/o/m1975#sch31728

Check here....I think the 79 clutch basket only used 1 thrust washer. 80-81 used two.

I have both a CBX 1000 6 Cyl and a CBX 550 F2 and both tanks are Steel ( My bikes are both UK Spec but I dont think Honda changed the tanks for other countries)

try bleeding new fluid through it,
check the resiviour is venting correctly,
Make sure the pedal has some freeplay.
the next step would be a rebuild kit for the master cylnder
