CB750 / CB750F1 Carb. Balancing ....
« on: December 09, 2018, 10:54:48 AM »
Hi all. Last year I got a carbtune manometer setup (with metal floats rather than mercury...). At that stage I had 2 goes at using a carbtune setup  ... initialy got it running pretty good (with a friends mercury setup) but felt that one carb was a bit out ... so had another go with my own metal float setup (shouldn't have bothered). Managed to get the balance levels better but in doing so the idle speed is now higher than it should be...
My questions ... is there an order you should balance them (like ... 1&4, 2&3 ...)? Does it matter which carb is the one you set the others to? I am aware of the need to balance once all the other bits are checked ... oil, air filter, plugs etc. I will have to reset the throttle linkage stops anyway as they are now quite a bit away from standard... Last question ... is the metal float  carbtune unit  as good as the mercury unit(the reason I ask is that the first time I balnced carbs I used a friends mercury unit & 2nd time I used a metal float setup that I had accquired...)?

CB750 / David Silver Spares replacement coils
« on: November 14, 2018, 09:58:35 PM »
Have just fitted these and was wondering if someone knew if black wires fit to the -ve or positive spade terminal on body of coil? Does it matter as it is just 2 ends of a coil I think? I thought maybe this is the same as black/white wires of original coils?

CB750 / Finned exhaust clamps cleaning up & replating?
« on: September 23, 2018, 09:18:05 PM »
Hi does anyone have any suggestions on how to rejuvenate the finned exhaust clamps? I can get them clean but would then like to get them treated as they seem to be prone to rusting?

« on: September 19, 2018, 10:54:42 AM »
Having had my bike recovered by the police, I have decided not to make an insurance claim but have some bits to sort out. By the way thanks for the encouragement/support I've got from people on here ...
Now down to business ...
Vin plate removed - searched on here & found uk based place to supply a stamped plate which was good. What do you think of outcome?

Hi,  I've got a transmission cover on my '76 cb750f which has a small piece broken off. I've got a replacement part, but this one doesn't have the gear positions on it... does anyone know which version is correct for my bike model? See pics
