Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall

Yep. It doesn't bother me at all. I left the fuel lines extra long to be cut when the tank was on so they will easily reach. Strange though how I did all that work to the tank and never noticed. I knew the tap should be on the left as I have run the pipes to that side. Weird.

Had a go at the above list to get things running correctly. Checked the oil level and took off the two end tappet caps. I can see oil coming out from both ends of the cam, but not the deluge I was expecting. I think it is correct though. The oil in the tank is warm and slightly frothy so it must be returning from the engine. Whilst the engine was warmed up I strobed the Boyer ignition. I had to make a small adjustment to the magnetic rotor to get it right, but it now strobed okay and running smoother than before. I vacuum checked the carbs and they were a bit out. After adjustments it read correctly at tick over and higher up the revs. so all good. It didn't appear to make any difference to the running though. To be honest the engine is mechanically quiet unlike my 750F2, that's a bag of spanners.

So all is good then. Well no not really. A couple of problems have shown up for next weekends project. It's not charging the battery. Probably a cable connection I missed somewhere hopefully. And it has a slight misfire on cylinder 1. Good thing about the mini coils is you can unplug the HT lead from the coil, so I shall swap 1 and 4 at the coil and see if the misfire moves to cylinder 4. If not, then I will change the spark plug and possibly HT lead and see what happens. I think it's most likely to be electrical but you never know. I may also check that the tappets haven't closed up. After that I will be stumped. Got the battery back on the optimiser ready for the weekends mission.

I may be back at weekend looking for idea's. Cheers.
Oddjob:
Look like the same vac gauges as mine. Switchgear new? if not that's a good restore.
Matt_Harrington:
Is the brake master clamp meant to be upside down? (sorry, couldn't resist!)
royhall:
Well spotted. I will turn yon bugger over. Ta.
