Thanks for the replies.
The petrol tap seems ok, but maybe it gradually seeps fuel over a couple of weeks or so?
It's a spring loaded cone type tap and does not have the usual rubber packing washer with the holes.
I'm also thinking of renewing the needle valves and seats, but not sure about the quality of the aftermarket replacements available.

Forgot to mention the tap is turned off.

Not sure what's causing this but when I park up in my garage for a couple of weeks or more and then pull the bike off the centre stand I get a few drips of petrol onto the garage floor from the carb overflow hoses.
Anyone had the same issue?
Carb float levels were set at 26mm about 4 years ago and not touched since.
I was maybe thinking about worn needle valves, but would this be a normal CB750 fault?
Bike has done 48,000 miles on originals.

I found that If you first remove the cam box breather cover the motor fits in easier.
Also you're probably less likely to damage the frame paint.
BTW
Sean, thanks for the excellent Belfast to Belfast blog it's a fascinating read.

If your bike's already built up in rolling chassis form here's how you can refit the motor single handedly and without damage to the frame etc. You need a smooth concrete garage floor so the bike can be pushed side ways towards the motor. https://goo.gl/photos/KRhVTTAbjCUoaA5x7Refitting the motor photos are near the end, apologies for linking the full photo album.

Yes ,by just holding an old and new needle jet up to the light for a visual inspection there was a fair difference in size.
Those were the original needle jets from new and had done 23,900 miles.
You'll probably find that you'll need full choke when starting and careful engine warm up after fitting replacements, also restores fuel consumption and nice smooth low throttle response.

'Carburation is a bit woolly low down and feels like it could be crisper, it starts better without choke'
Had exactly the same problem with my F1, tried everything mentioned here, but in the end it was new needle jets that cured it.
Part number 16012 392 004 (if you can still get them)
Good luck.

Hello Arch,
I had the same problem and renewed the pilot jets which did not cure it.
However after renewing the needle jets the problem was solved.
Good luck with your carbs.

Not sure about Ben & Jerrys, but I'm told that Haagen Dazs is cool.

Just wanted to share this tip on how to possibly avoid clock faces becoming damaged or faded in the direct sunlight. Haagen Dazs lids and U.V. resistant, reflective and self adhesive material from my local sign makers shop. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HA4CFXAcN4W7at4M7

Well deserved prize for a lovely bike, I wonder how he'll manage to carry that trophy home?

Kent400,
thanks for the helpful offer of a replacement face but I've been lucky enough get a used replacement clock from the UK via Flea Bay.
My wife was happy with the damage as I was prevented from exceeding 70MPH in case the needle became stuck on the melted speedo face!
Tacho face seems OK, bike was parked with the steering locked and handle bars on extreme right hand lock with speedo uppermost. Not sure if this was a factor, maybe just the way the sun was hitting it?
