Hello
« on: March 28, 2017, 06:43:18 PM »
I've just purchased a Honda CB750K6 manufactured in Dec 1975 for the US market. It was brought over to the UK last year and registered then as a 'P' reg but with a declared date of manufacture of 1976. Although I'm slightly concerned the previous UK owner only did 2 miles on it, it seems to be in reasonable overall condition but with plenty of scope for tinkering, cleaning, polishing, repairing, replacing etc. which is =what I was looking for - a project. Anyway, I'm sure I'll have some questions going forwards, but for now, hi everyone :)

Welcome DaveB, have fun with your project. Quite a few forum members live in your part of Kent, so I'm sure help, if needed, won't be far away.

Welcome, are you keeping it USA spec.

Thank you all for the welcome. This is a good question that I'm not sure at the moment how to answer. My understanding, with very limited knowledge mostly gained from the interweb is that the only differences are: size of indicators, height of bars and the rear tail light mount, oh and size of the tail light. That being the case then it seems it's a decision I could make later in the process of restoration. Please let me know if I missed any differences.

My first priority is to service the engine and get it running as sweet as possible. It starts fine but tick over is a bit lumpy and it seems difficult to find the right choke position. I want to check valve clearances and for carb air leaks before suspecting anything else.
