Tricks & Tips / Removing chewed up phillips screw
« on: February 24, 2014, 09:00:00 PM »
Having stripped my 750 into a million parts the weekend and
with the help from my son to remove the engine decided to take the breather casting off
seized up front screw,the only one i have come across during the strip.
 My son showed me a great way to remove it.
Drill a hole in the top 2.5mm dia or so ,tap  a torx bit into the hole,attach
ratchet handle and hey presto out it came.
Might be of use if you get stuck.
Good luck Richard :)

CB750 / Curious ht leads
« on: February 20, 2014, 10:20:50 AM »
Having bought 750 back in September from guy, even older than me, giving up bikes. He gave me a receipt for full service ,mot ,collection and delivery service. so not ridden at all.
I have done about 100 miles only on it before the rains came. Tried to get it going weekend and it ran poorly checked carbs,full of muck (despite service receipt saying carbs stripped,I think the old boy was stitched up) anyway i digress.
I checked the HT leads last night and 2 and3 were the wrong way around how could it run????

CB750 / Start of restoration Carb Help
« on: February 16, 2014, 08:37:37 PM »
I bought this 750 back in September ,A one owner from new even got original purchase receipt £890-00 and new 4 pipes (he didn't want to chance them going rusty so fitted motad, my Brucy bonus)
Thought i might keep it as original but after a few rides front break needs an overhaul  Carbs keep blocking
so seeing as it was such a lovely day today decided to start.
Started to dismantle carbs but i'm stuck . Is the top shaft is it secured with captive pins?
see the photo (hope they up load )
Cheers Richard

Anyone out there can lend me a good /bad or plain ugly one i can take dimensions from?.
