CB750 / Honda CB750 K1 Carb bowl gaskets
« on: May 05, 2023, 11:52:28 AM »
I have recently refurbed all the carbs on my 1972 K1. I bench fitted all the bowl gaskets while on the bench but needed to remove the bowls once fitted to the bike. The gaskets drop out and are very difficult to locate back into the carb body, especially the centre carbs. Does anyone have any methods to ensure they are located securely without removing the carbs again.
Thanks in anticipation

CB750 / 750 K1 grumbling gearbox
« on: September 02, 2020, 05:00:04 PM »
My 72 UK K1 has developed a grumbling sound from the gearbox while idling. I know about the primary chain noise so it is not that sounds a bit like a bearing. Bike has done 70K miles any ideas? sounds like it could be expensive.

its got std airfilter and 341 exhausts. I thought that the bike might be running a bit weak as it feels as if it needs more fuel as when opening the throttle from cruising it pulls strongly.

When cruising at about 60-70 my bike seems to 'hunt' or falter slightly. Opening the throttle it is fine. As we are only part throttle I have ordered pilot jets size 42 which is one size up. these are about 4 mm longer than the STD ones. will these be OK as obviously will pick up fuel from lower in the float bowl.. Can anyone throw any light on my predicament?

I found a great improvement when I drilled the discs, Certainly in the wet and in the dry

After rebuilding the top end on my 72 K1 with 341 exhausts I now find that when cruising at 60 to 70 the engine is 'hunting' give it a touch more throttle and everything is ok until cruising again. Plug colour is good after a plug chop so wondering if I need to put larger pilot jets in ( currently std). Has any of our experts any comments please?

Always worth checking the clutch cable is running free. Especially if stood for a while.

I fitted Norton straights to my K1. You need to be very careful as clearance to the tank at full lock is very close to the tank. From memory I welded a small packer to the lockstop to increase clearance
