I had a small carb (not sohc) that is essentially a pilot jet system with no needle valve, just air passages to meter the fuel.
Been left atanding about ten years and I could not get through the small airways with anything physical and the jet holes are really small stopping it from running at all.
Wondering what to do with it, so bit of lateral thinking (deck-chair, sunny garden, cold beer) and came up with boiling it.
So 50p on a old saucpan at the local car boot, gentle simmer in plain water for 15mins.......and clean as a whistle, reassmbled, primed and motor fired second try.
Used to run a chemical analytical lab and remembered that they always used to steam all the kit to clean it of any residue, also they use steam in other industries like petro-chemical....so that's my thinking logic and it does seem to be effective for naff all cost.
Suppose you could also use one of those walpaper steam/stripper kits with a nozzle to clean out oilways, carbs etc.
Let us know if you try it with any success.
Nigel.

Just bought a "intelligent" battery charger from Lidl and initially amazed at the quality of the device.
Will charge both 6v/12v with range for both bike and car capacity batteries, does the normal stuff like pulse start to desulphate and will sit in monitor mode to pick up if the voltage drops.
Also if the vehicle is started while attached then it's digital volt readout shows the alternator charge rate.
The connect clips can be removed without tools to leave two loop connectors that can be fixed to bike battery terminals via bolts (you could cut the leads and connect with a double pole plug to leave a small easy connect loom on a bike).
It seems to be made of really good materials and they sell for £12.99
I put it on here because alot of people have sporadic use bikes and these things don't seem to be in stock for long.....I'm off to pick up a couple more for friends.
Let us know what you think of it if you buy one.

I know there have been some battery discusions here but would like any suggestions of what to use i.e. gell type etc from someone who has fitted any types recently.
Just a standard size battery for K2-750 I'm after so if you have had a good experience in buying more recently and good performance I'd appreciate it if you can post it for me.
Thanks for any replys, they're all appreciated whatever your view.

There is a 70's bike day this Sunday at the Ace Cafe if anyone is around there, perhaps an ad-hoc SOHC meeting?
Anyone up for it? I'm planning to be there from about 1 O'clock ish

Try this for some good stuff,
Google just plain 750 4 and turn options to images only, there's all sorts of odds and ends that may not come up in others searches.

Has anyone seen the current issue of "classic motrocycle mechanics" with 2 Suzuki 750 on the cover?
It's got a good bit inside about Honda RCB endurance racers. These were built from SOHC 750 base and represent the final most advanced research that Honda did on this motor I believe.
It was built with a DOHC top end but you can still see the origins of the crankcases etc in the photos, it even shows the conversion of the primary drive to gear type inside in one pic.
After this they were moved to CB900 basis as the race regs changed to allow only production based motors and this head / barrels etc had no street equal.
The nearest thing for the road that seems closest to this hybrid was the CBX750 that has gear primary, narrow angle 16 valve head, alternator on top of gearbox and even a slipper clutch as standard.
It's worth a look to see where the original 750-4 got to.

Has anyone practical advice about shipping a bike to the USA?
Mainly about crating up, no fluids etc, how to pick up from domestic site once crated (no forklift) any advice about shipping companies.
Thanks.

Did anybody see that picture of a CR750 rear wheel including drum and TLS brake plate in Motorcycle Mechanics this month?
Pictured for sale at the stafford show and appeared to have a price of

Think it's a two stroke "blue haze" day at the Ace so worth a trip out maybe.
I'll probably visit late morning if anyone else is going to go there.
I know it's not SOHC stuff but quite often something turns up, also quite a few of us have a two-smoke interest as well.
