Also, I can feel the slightest bit if air coming from the headers where the connect to the motor. Could that be problematic? It's just barely enough to feel some air slipping through.

So I finally got my bike running, all four cylinders doing what they are supposed to do, everything working great BUT, it's running pretty hot, and all signs point to a lean mixture. Upgrades are pod filters, and a 4 - 1 exhaust. I do believe it's a Mac, 4 into 1. I have the stock 110 main...

I'll definitely do all of the checks before I freak out. It gotta pretty damn hot. Enough to where my hand would of definitely burned. I also am thinking it may be running very lean. I have the stock jets. But pod filters, and aftermarket 4 into 1 exhaust. So I'm sure the air levels are way...

Alright! Awesome!! Thank you so much! Now that I got all the venting down, and it starts right up with no issues....the next problem I am having is my cylinders seem to be getting pretty damn hot really really fast. The bike is not tuned yet, timing could be off, but the bike is running. Any...

Ah! Okay I did some researching! So I do have a vent on my oil tank, it's just on the bottom and it has a line that goes to the top of the tank. So I'll hook that up! But, do I run that tube to the breather on the backside of the motor? ...and just put a hose off of the upper part of the engine...

Thank you so much for your awesome responses! Unfortunately there is no hole for a vent, so I will have to make my own. Any recommendations for making one? Could I drill I hole, put a well sealed fitting into it, and run a hose out of that and away from the tank? I guess that's really my only...

Vent the oil tank? How should I do that? Drill a hole in the cap? Or drill a hole in the top of the tank? What size hole? Should I put a piece of plastic tubing into the oil so it's not just a bare hole?

Alright, so I got my bike running, it's starts, and does everything it is supposed to...EXCEPT, I have an after market oil tank, a cylinder type one, and a push in oil cap. So now when I start it, and rev it a bit, after about ten seconds the oil cap POPS OFF..What could be the problem?! Once I...

Thanks for the reply! I guess since the jets are not blocked at all, and I'm getting spark, and air, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting gas. What could be other variables that are making my bike not want to start. I kick it, and I can hear the compression, I hear it pull in air, but it doesn't...

Hey everybody! I am in the final stages of getting this motorcycle going....FINALLY. I have pod filters and a 4 into 1 exhaust. It has the stock jets....and the bike won't start. If I am understanding what I have been reading, I am going to have to replace the jets on the bike, correct? I have a...

I turned the idle screw down and it seemed to stop the sound? It's just strange.

Hey everybody! I've been doing a build for a couple months now, and finally got this thing together. I re-wired everything and everything tests correct. This motor has been sitting a couple years, so I'm not sure if that is the cause of this problem or what. I'm so lost... ...okay, so, when I'm...

Heck yes I'm in! This is awesome!!

Hi everybody! I'm working on my 1978 CB750 today, and as I am getting it all together and mocking everything up, I notice something feels weird. I have my clutch cable ran, and hooked up properly(maybe not). So I put the shift lever into first, and try to turn the sprocket coming off of the...

I am assembling my 1978 CB750, and I have a bad rectifier and also and a bad regulator. My question is....I am looking for new ones, but a lot of them are listed as "regulator/rectifier", so I'm wondering if they are combined into one unit, or am I missing something? I just need some help...
