Hi Guys
Its coming very close to putting my CB 750 sohc to bed for the winter.

This being my first early CB 750 sohc, I am looking for tips on the best Fuel to use & tips for winter storage, mainly regarding the fuel, my bike is a K6 but as got the K7 Carbs on with the accelerator pump.
Because it will be stored for around 6months  I am thinking of emptying the fuel tank & running the fuel out of the carbs, instead of leaving the fuel in & using a an additive.

What are your thoughts ?

Cheers
Greebo

Hi Greebo all I do to my CB750 is turn the fuel tap off and drain the float bowls completely , it lives in a wooden shed for the winter and wasn't used for 9 months this time but fired up no prob's, cheers Mick

Drain the carbs but leave the tank full to keep the (damp) air out.

Use a fuel stabiliser.
