Honda-SOHC

Have you tried ebay, there is a lot of cb750 stuff on there at the moment.

Does anyone out there know the inter change ability of cb parts between the F's and K's

A good start is either the Haynes or the clymer manual, they are both easily obtainable on Ebay.

The F is not that complicated a loom, most electrical problems occur due to poor earth connections or those crappy bullet/spade connectors.

 :casstet:  In theory is shouldn't matter the Honda should only draw the current it needs, the problem arises when relays get stuck closed then massive amounts of current can be drawn.

I've jumped( ) my '76 F from my BMW K100 which has one of the odessy PC680s in it.

The PC680 has 680 cold cranking amps available, a lot more than the standard Yuasa 12N14

A while ago the conrod came away on my 1979 CB750F2 and shot through the upper half of the crankcase. I've finally got round to restoring her, and am now trying to either find a repacement crankcase, or get the hole welded up.

Does anyone know where I can get a crankcase or know of a weldor who's good with cast ally? (I can weld, but have only experience with MIG and arc on mild steel. Cast ally is a specialist job that ideally requires a TIG)

cheers,
fred

How big is the hole, and where is it? I've heard of cases where folks have repaired smallish holes by drilling out, tapping out a thread and sealing with a bolt.

Any specialist repair is going to cost a bomb.

 I know of a guy that used that two part epoxy metal (JB Weld, I think it was called) - Not something I would try myself

There is a massive auto jumble coming up in Newark, Notts on August 22nd  and Sept 26th. I'm going to see what camshaft stuff I can get.

All that said, I may have a set of cases but I'm not sure what they are off, I bought a complete engine as an F1 a few years ago, but I've moved since then and I'm not sure what happened to them. I'll have a root around and get in touch.
