CB750 / Felt wadding -- sabotage?

« on: November 14, 2023, 05:05:36 PM »

[ Guests cannot view attachments ] First run on a restored 750 and got about 4 miles out and engine faded and died.Had similar probs with a yamaha years ago with blocked fuel cap so released fuel cap,, brand new DS cap and sure enough I'm away again.
Just taken cap apart and there is a small circular wad of felt jammed between the rubber enclosing washer and vent hole.
Not at all impressd...Anyone else had problem with felt?

Slowly working my way through it.Given up on using too many new parts as have two daughters to run at the same time! So hence the phrase!

CB750 / Idiot console bulb holder rubbers

« on: January 24, 2023, 04:57:02 PM »

Hi,My import 750 K5 idiot console bulb holders used to have a rubber seal around them to fit into missing console.
After many years in the sun and sand they have perished and have the brittle remains of one left.
Has any fellow member found a solution to this problem?
Thanks

Hello,Been using the search box to find correct fuel level in the bowl.No find.
