Hi i recently bought a Honda Cuby i was wondering if anyone knew how or where to get the glass/plastic float bowl the pull cord or the pulley guard. Thanks

The only place you're ever gonna find parts for this is off of a doner unit, or have it custom made.

Nathanshondas

Do you know if any of the parts were reused from something else like a generator?

smithenhiven

That's a good question. I know the T10 (Honda Cuby) was based off the Honda E40 Generator, or was it the E40 was based off the T10. Either way, the T10 is 19.7 cc, while the E40 is 21.2 cc. So, it's possible that things like the carb are the same between the two. I've got a Honda E40 here at the house, although it's not mine so I don't want to get to deep into, but I'll see about taking off a panel or two, to see what the carb looks like, and take a pic.

But even if certain parts are the same, then you've got the problem that an E40 is a collectible item in and of itself. So you'd have to rob one collectors item of parts to restore another.

I dont think so there was a e40 at the auction i got the cuby at, i pulled the cover off the e40 and the carb bowl didnt fit.(not to mention its aluminum) how much did it cost to have yours custom made? did you have drawings? and the gas cap is it the side cover screw of a 60s honda?

I got my cuby running today! it sounds excellent!

Nathanshondas

and where on earth did you find the letter?

smithenhiven

I used to have a 1964 CB77 superhawk, and lower engine panel-cover screw-**** looked very much identicle to the cuby gas cap, but the CB77 **** had a screw set into it, rather than having threads inside like the **** itself like the Cuby cap would have. Same went for the side panel cover screws I believe. Perhaps if you obtained the CB77 ****, you could custom make a Cuby gas cap though.

The dealer letter is a copy of a copy that I was fortunate enough to get from another Cuby owner. I can scan a copy for you if you wish, and email it to you.

Nathanshondas

My dad has the 4E and the jc57 but the only brochure he has is the kid holding the jc up if you want i can post some pics but id greatly appreciate if i could also get a copy of the 4e and the other jc. i really like the artwork they put into the brochures.

I envy your collection.


The Benly is the prettiest motorcycle that Honda ever produced, IMO.

I'd kill for a Cuby.

smithenhiven

Nice bikes. That JC57 is beautiful, I used to own one, that's one I wish i didn't let get away. The early Dreams are totally cool, I would love to own one one day, does his 4e run? Just curious, where are you located?

Nathanshondas

No the 4e isnt even close, honda diddnt really know what the heck they were doin when they built the 4e and the jcs dont get me wrong there beautiful but so hard to fix. and i live in Oregon

smithenhiven

Oregon huh, I was thinking you were over seas somewhere. How/where did you or your dad come across those pre-export Hondas? Did he import them, or find them for sale here?

Nathanshondas

He bought them from japan he has a line of shippers but its really expensive.

Nathanshondas

Pretty exited about the cuby that just sold on ebay for $750 mine has more parts and i only thought it was worth $500

Btw i found where to buy a float bowl looks really nice

smithenhiven

You talking about the $475 float bowl on ebay? I wouldn't buy that, I got my repro floatbowl for under $50 (granted, it wasn't cnc'd aluminum, it was plastic). I'm still digging to try to find you the guy that made my float bowl, I'll forward the info if/when I find it.

WanganRunner

Wow, I thought these were worth a couple thousand bucks. $750 doesn't seem that bad.

smithenhiven

Well, the couple thousand dollar units were NOS in the boxes, the used ones rarely break the one thousand dollar mark.

Nathanshondas

lol no not the stupid 475 aluminum ones i paid 40 for a plastic one.
btw im going in to get some stuff framed can i get those brocures and the letter please.

Nathanshondas

i still have to make the gasket and the gas cap then im probibly gonna put it on ebay.

smithenhiven

I need to get my scanner hooked up, and dig out my brochure collection. I will do it, but I can't guarantee when, lol. Sorry, but I work a ton of hours each week, and have little to no free time, but if/when I do, I'll dig out the cuby lit, and make a scan for you.

Nathanshondas

Thanks i know its asking a lot but it helps a ton i dont even know where to start looking for a copy

Hey Foristi

it´s been a while since I announced to put some pics of my friends CUBY on this page...

Today we took some pics of the CUBY itself and all the Applications it came with. I will divide it into several cahpters, starting with the device itself being mounted on the original platform and connected with the GENERATOR.
