Honda C70 restoration

[woodypup59]

We've picked up a one owner 1973 C70 and are trying to get it going.

Has anyone got a wiring diagram ?

We need a key to start with - H 9360. Has anyone got one or can recommend a supplier.

Thanks

Honda H 9360 key brings some instant results, like this one :

Some dealers have bought huge stocks of old keys and sell them, I have bought one for my ST70, all OK.

It IS yellow ! Do you know the name of that colour ?
Ref the keys on Ebay. I did search but my default settings are uk only but thanks for the pointer. and he won't send to the UK.

The frame number is supposed to be here (in the black oval). But thers nothing tere but clean original paint.

Any ideas of other places where the number might be ?

Don't quote me, but it may have been something like bright yellow.

I had 4 C70's at one time or another, they were all yellow. At the time i thought it was the only colour they came in!

For the key, check out ebay UK, there are suppliers in US that ship to UK,

I had my ST70 extra key sent over from the US, worked well, I wanted that antique "Honda Wing" on the key.

For the VIN, check out the headstock of the frame, sometimes it is located there.

Or try to take off the paint in the circled area, maybe it has been massively oversprayed ?

Is the type plaque on the left frame side, outside under tank, missing ?

For the year, RS paint (UK) suggests "poppy yellow metallic" as only color option.

On RH paint (GER) there is an enquiry form where you can enter your bike data and they will show a choice of OEM colors,

don´t know if you need a VIN for that first.

Just to bring you uptodate.

The previous owner has found the key and an old V5 . And a handbook.

Once the points and carb were cleaned it fired up and runs quite sweerly. Happy days.

We're going to fit new tyres and carefully touch up the worst paint blemishes and sell it on.
