CB750A carburation - anyone worked on this?

Most modern fuel injected bikes use IACV.  My 955 Sprint used one valve with a stepper motor and three rubber pipes to the injectors. The pipes rotted - if you find a 20 year old fuel injected Triumph that won't tickover, that's usually the problem.

CB750A:
This is the crazy new member that has a Hondamatic. Thanks for all the interest and involvement. As one of you hinted at, I do know a thing or two about CB750s. I bought my first in 1969 from Elite Motors in South London. I went in to buy a mirror for my 6 month old Trident, and came out with a red CB750! I let a friend have a go about three weeks later and he proceeded to write it off trying to round a bend at 100 MPH. He survived, but the bike did not.
There were no more red ones in the UK so I ended up with a blue one (the insurance in those days seemed to cover the bike, rather than who was riding it).
Since then I have had a host of bikes and restored many classics. I thought I would have a go at the Auto, as it was so quirky. So - I am not a complete lunatic, but I do need some help with this one, due to some of the bike not being there.
If someone could forward Hondaking's email address to me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for your input and interest.

I did have a 40 mile ride on a 750A about 20 years ago, it was a nice ride once I'd got used to using the brakes much more than I was used to due to the lack of engine braking. Also the engines are seriously de- rated from the regular 750's, not sure why Honda did that, maybe they thought the transmission would not handle the full power engine, or more likely they didn't want huge law suits against them if people started crashing them because they were so easy to ride quickly, but scary having to rely totally on the brakes. Don't think I'd buy one, only because the parts are really scarce today, but I would like to ride one for a week or so for the experience again. Good luck with it.

keep us posted with your progress.
Just because I don't get an auto motorcycle it doesn't mean I'm not interested  ;)
