Turns out the petcock is not working in the 'on' position but it does on the reserve..do you have any recommendations on where to get a new one?

Hi Harriec
Here is a link to that item on the David Silver Spares site, a site you may find very useful in future, not that there are not always options. https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB750F2-(Single-overhead-cam)/part_335380/

Hello Harriec
Welcome here, you have certainly found the right place for a new owner. Don't panic over your problems, there is always a solution.

Don't get me started on milk deliveries. People next to us had milk deliveries. Only a few years ago. 5 in the morning...clink clink clink 'f'ing clink...
So you would rather hear MOOING at five in the morning?  :o

CB500/550 / Re: Leak in front brake switch and by the caliper
« on: March 27, 2024, 06:10:33 PM »
I had this issue years ago, in my case all I had to do was tighten the switch properly, I can't think why it took me a couple of weeks to notice but it was dangerous, front brake needed pumping of the lever to work  now and then. I bled the brakes but it didn't help. But what I then discovered was that over time brake fluid had been getting sprayed at the front left overhang on the fuel tank, spoiling the paint work, it is a potent paint stripper too. ::)

CB350/400 / Carb overflow tube size
« on: March 26, 2024, 08:57:45 PM »
Before I go get it wrong on Ebay again, are the four carb overflow tubes on the CB400F 3.5 mm in diameter as per the inside?

CB350/400 / Seized clutch adjuster bolt.
« on: March 25, 2024, 05:49:58 PM »
I've got a seized clutch adjuster bolt meaning I couldn't fit and adjust a new cable as per book. My clutch is working ok but engaging rather late. My efforts to release the clutch adjuster bolt from it's hole in the clutch cover had me go blue in the face before... Banzai ..I had twisted clean in half a socket reducer.  :o
Thing is maybe this had saved me from stripping the thread in the clutch housing itself. The question is if that ends up happening when I get this sorted can it be fixed with an insert?

I can't help but wonder how a cardboard box could support a heavy  cargo like a motorcycle. :-\
