Hi Skoti

I replaced the the gasket on the cam cover yesterday without taken the engine out and its all on now......... Just hope when I get round to starting it there is No Oil leaks...we shell see but Might take a bit of time as loads to do before I get to that stage 

Cheers Maurice

hi

went into the workshop today and used the screw to get the old oil seal out along with a bit of heat and yes all good as
it came out and new one fitted so thanks guy`s I am getting there .... mind you got till next year to finish it as for our weather as only a fair weather rider now lol Age ha 

ok thanks........... I got a heat gun.........mrs will heat me if I use her hair dyrer lol

and I got some pick tools too 

Hi guy`s

I have just got a cb750 K4 for the first time and it`s got oil coming from the Cam cover at the front and running down the front fins of the Engine.....as I am not up much on them I wanted to know do any of you guy`s use a sealent on the gasket or just put it on Dry ? the thing I do know you can`t get the cam cover off without taken the engine out or doing things like the frame ralils cut and No way am I going to do that  but you can get the old gasket off and the new one on while it is in the frame, as I just got the old one off......... I wonder if someone put the gasket on Wrong.....I have watched the YourTube video on one bloke saying about the little Nick in the gasket should be put on on the nearside of the bike...... but as said just wondered if anyone thinks it is a good Idea to put anything on it or Not......If so what would you use ? I use in most cases Wellseal so to use or Not to use ?

Cheers Mo

Hi everyone this is just a test as I have not been able to reply as keep getting a forbiden notice I have had a word with steven and done what he said but it still wont let me get on there

so just  trying a different pc so here go`s lol

Hi all just and update again,

I took the tops off the carbs today and noticed that the left kept getting stuck in the top hat so after cleaning and a bit of polish they both now fall up and down freely with the springs on and off, one thing I did Not say is the springs that I have are honda but from anther bike as could Not get the ones that Honda did for the upgrade kit for the Bomber,

So if anyone has got any of the right ones part Number 6186-283-305 if they know what the lengths of them are as the ones that I have are 8cm long, they were 12cm long but I cut them down as they were far to strong to push up on the piston so I cut them down to counter act that. so if you know the true length I think that will help.

yes Ted you are right they did Not, But as Ashley told me that due to the flat spot around the 4,000 RPM that Honda got a kit out to Try to sort that out one of the things along with the jets needles etc was to fit a spring.

well I went out again today or should I say yesterday Now

first job I did try opening up to half and No choke Not a fire, so 1/4 choke No fire so the 3/4 and then full choke still No fire, so took out left plug and done the blow lamp on that put it back in and it fired and started up went out for a 30 mile ride back at lunch time.... went back down at and about mid afternoon first press and away she went and again at tea time hit the button and it started first press....... 

I took the slides out a few days ago and checked both needles made sure the Diaphragm's were all nice and smooth running up in the bores and in the body's with now hangups ..oh and I even tried replacing the needles too just incase they were at fault just don't get it....
timing is all spot on thats all done By Electronic Ign now and the battery is up around the 12.8 volts and new ish 8 mouths ago. but as I say after it went out and come back all fine...........but will try it again in the Morning as I might go for a ride again and we shell see... unless it go`s back to blow lamp plug or plugs again we will have to see
