CB750 Barn find project - First Timer
Trigger:
Before fitting any engine you have to check that the engine turns freely via the kick start and every gear can be selected under load.
There are many problems if the oil pressure is not building up on a 750. It can even be a 0' ring at the wrong size or missing.

Trigger, that was before wrapping and whilst it was relatively straightforward it was switches from two models (LH and RH different) loom from another and bike a third so just about nothing except block connectors were a plug n play, still all keeps the grey matter working!!

Well live and learn. I tested all the gears whilst turning the crankshaft but didn’t think about the kick start. Still hoping that maybe the clutch cover is interfering as it was quite a tight fit getting it over the kickstart spindle

Anyone got any experience pulling an engine out the side with either an engine crane or engine hoist? Can buy them second hand pretty cheap or even hire one for a day for £20.
