Push cable usually has no adjuster, so just fit and leave. But that one shouldn't give you a problem unless something is misplaced on brackets.
As it has an affect when you push the top of slides it may be that there's not a parity of the slide home position from assembly. Are you familiar with Bryan's bench synchronisation method? As that should remove an error like that if present.
No? Happy to whip the rack off and go through a proper sync.. where can I find that document please?? Thabsk

Do you have both throttle cables fitted?
If so, can you bring the idle down by "forcing " the twist grip closed? ie. Rotating it clock wise to make the secondary cable work.
If it closes off the high revs by doing the above, have you tensioned the normal throttle cable adjustment too much as it should have about 10 degrees of rotational slack at the twist grip. This would also make the throttle really heavy too if it's not set correctly.
Pushing the throttle grip forward does not reduce the revs sadly... I def have play about 10 degrees at the throttle grip. I can see a small amount of slack in the ‘pull’ cable at the carb rack but unsure on the ‘push’ cable? I’ll have a look

I’ve sprayed the inlet rubbers with carb cleaner and didn’t notice any increase in rpms?
Also slides are all seating correctly I believe?
Thanks tho

Okay so here’s the problem..
Honda CB750 k2
Stock carbs
Pod filters (don’t kill me)
4-1 (again don’t kill me)
Standard idle jet
+4 on the main jet
Toming correct
Cam chain correct
New coils
New leads
New plugs
New points
New condensers
Bike runs okay, pulls well above 2500rpm suggesting the main jet is okay, really bad idle and running very rich so I put the stock idle jets back on.
The main issue I am getting is the revs hang around 2500/3000 rpm when at a stand still.
I’ve put them on a vacuum balancer which was impossible as I’m struggling to get the bike to run at idle.
Everything seems okay on the carbs, they were fully dismantled cleaned new jets, seals, float heights done etc.
The throttle return spring is new and if anything on the heavy side.. after holding the throttle open for 3 miles of 50mph my hand was hurting 😂
If I apply A downward pressure to the tops of the carb lifters and blip the throttle it returns quickly to idle every time .. Almost like Ive made an error when putting them back together?
It feels like they are not closing properly?
I know this could be a multitude of things but was wondering if anyone has experienced this and it was a stupid error made when putting a set of these carbs back together??
Thanks for your help

I don't have a CB750, but I had to look at the 'fear selector spring'! 😁
It’s almost identical to the gear selector spring just a littl more scary! 😂

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement spring from? Or any ideas of something that would work in it place from another model cheers!! Al

Long time back, but just got round to doing this as it's a rainy day. Thanks Al. I stood the shock in a vice and used a couple of ratchet straps that were fixed to a point below the vice and worked a treat.
Glad I could help! 👍👍

Thanks again.. I did think about the old nail polish truck however the bike is immaculate and I am building it to sell on as I’m more of a custom guy. We want to achieve a high end finish so think the only route is a full respray.
I have spoken with the original painter who also confirmed its a respray.. the decals are all hand painted and not stickers so it’s gonna set me back £500 to have the panels and tank all re done!
That was an expensive cock up! Still crying but at least I’ve stopped throwing up now!!
Sad times

Thanks for all your responses, even though they are not what I wanted to hear.
I know the company that originally did the paint ‘Kustom Paintworks’ so I think my best bet is to start there!
Wish me luck..

I recently acquired an amazing CB750 1976 in a project state in that the hard work had been done and all that is required is it putting back together.
The quality of this build is A1, everything has been restored to near perfect condition or replaced with new parts.
With that said the tank has been beautifully painted to a very high standard and looks remarkable.
Here lies the problem.. being a complete idiot I have managed to knock the tank (don’t ask how) and placed a very small chip in it.
I need it repaired to the same standard or if irreparable I need it completely resprayed to maintain the standard of the restoration.
Can anyone recommend someone that may be able to repair the chip?
Failing that has anyone had experience with a professional sprayer they could recommend please
Thanking you all in advance
Alan
