1977 CB750 F2 Super Sport Rebuild

Buzzer  mine sounds more like a strangled cat but at least the indicators don't  get left on. Other makes had them as well back then.

One of the first things I did when I bought my F1 was to remove the buzzer.

I have no issues with the buzzer. I don't have one. Or the correct headlamp...or the ears.... so for me it's handy to know....but I won;t be fitting one.

Nice work, it looks like you're making leaps in the right direction to getting it back on the road again.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that cleaning my carbs will be as straight forward when I get to them shortly!

Hello! Sorry I've been away for so long ... my Kit Car was getting jealous of the attention the CB750 was getting, so started jumping out of gear (worn dogs on a Fireblade engine). So I spent the next couple of months replacing the engine and then enjoying the car  . Now winter is here (along with lockdown mk2) I am putting my efforts back in to getting the bike ready for summer 2021.

The good news is, before having to concentrate on the car the bike started pretty much straight away after I cleaned the carbs and put fresh oil in etc. I had an issue with cylinder 4 not firing due to the lead coming loose from the coil, but that was a quick fix.

Now although it's running which is great, it is very lumpy, so I am thinking my next step is to send the carbs off for a proper clean and rebuild.

What other adjustments/checks should I be looking to make on a bike that's been sat for 20 years? Valve clearances? Cam chain tensioner?

Thanks as always for your help!

I would be looking at anything that hardens & falls to bits with age like valve stem seals, O rings, some engine seals, pipework etc.
