Hello and welcome to the forum,
Were you actually running it when it started to play up?  How did it manifest itself? Down on a couple of cylinders? Cut out completely? Or had you put it away and left it?  As the others will no doubt say, if it had some sort of fault and then two different garages had a look, it might now have more than the original fault!  Don't despair though, there are plenty on here to help.  I'm not a 750 man but plenty are, so help will no doubt come.  You say carbs but do you have good recent fresh fuel in now?  Is there a spark? I think Ash may have posted a good flow chart for fault finding, rather than just checking random areas.

Many others will soon chime in with suggestions,
Ian

Here you go, this is where I bought mine. Very quick delivery as well.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264575277700?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=J-zL353uSQe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=5XpGce3OSuS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thats the size I originally used. Ted recommended going smaller to 0.025 to 0.076 mm. Which only seem to be sold in bigger quantities or are from the US. Luckily Ted had some spare which he kindly sold to me.

Working through measuring them now, got 3/4 of the way and my electric ratched went flat. I don't fancy fully tightening and undoing 10 bolts over a dozen times each :D

There is a formula for working out the perfect number of bikes to own.

Current number of bikes owned +1  :)

The before & after photos of the electrics behind the side panel look inpressive - all those now homeless Arachnids good work!
Just spotted a mistake though, I’ve fitted the black regulator cover the wrong way!

Hi Guys,

Just thought I would introduce myself. I bought a CB70 F2 supersport a few years ago...I have now joined the forum as its letting me down and I can't get my head around the carbs so I thought I would tap into the wealth of knowledge that will be on here! I am based in Sussex so if anyone knows someone that likes to tinker with F2 carbs this way then please raise your hand! I was loving the bike until the end of last summer when it started to run like a bag of nails...now I can't even get it started! Two trips to two different garages (and about £600 later) and its still not running! Anyway...rain has stopped play today as I work outside...so im off to tinker with it and probably get more frustrated! :-\

My friend Graham Curtis rebuilds Honda pressed together cranks  inc. CB250/350K. He rebuilt my CB450K0, CB72 & S90 crankshafts.

That is very good to know Ash.  I had always been advised by my engineer that it was not possible.  Thanks very much.

Fitted mine and they sound excellent. I used fitting method on this site for fitting stock exhaust.
I am very pleased with them. Had a quick run on bike and all seems good performance wise.

Whose set of instructions did you follow?
It would be good to have a step by step guide as has been suggested.
