CB750 Barn find project - First Timer
Underdog1:
Been away for a while, managed to grab a quick 30 minutes in the workshop.
Got the pesky roll pin out. As recommended by trigger I tapped it and yanked it out
Refitted the kickstart correctly. Everything works as it should but half the little ledge the spring sits on is gone.
Going to take it to get a blob of tig weld on there tomorrow. Doesn’t need to be particularly pretty as there’s plenty of clearance around that area
Underdog1:
So had a bloke in town put a blob of weld on the broken kickstart spring retainer thing for a few beer tokens. Ground it down with a dremal at home, looks like it will do the trick
Spent most the day scraping old hondabond off with a razor blade trying not to have any fall into the cases. Very boring task! Reapplied the hondabond and closed the cases.
Was struggling to get the gear selector mech back together when I saw this
So annoying! Was probably due to the gear selector dogs not being seated correctly. Had to open up again, spend another eternity prepping the cases and then closing them again.
Got there in the end thought, can hopefully have the lump back in the frame tomorrow
Nurse Julie:
Great, fingers crossed all goes well this time. Just checking.....you did clean out all the swarf after your re modeling with the dremmel ?

Yeah I covered everything with cling film to stop it getting places and then wiped out where needed
I’ve heard these babies run well on swarf anyway
Underdog1:
Made a lot of progress over the last few days, got the engine back in and built the bike back up, getting oil pressure light go out now after 10 kicks or so which I’m happy with.
Just been doing the points gaps and timing , think I’ve got it as best as I can. Filled some fuel in a remote tank and tried to fire her up but not getting a spark. Condensers were working before strip down.
Any common things I should be checking? I’ll recheck that something crazy hasn’t happened with the points gaps tomorrow, happy with progress but I’m unsure what to look at regarding the sparks
