OK, so I'm replacing my front tire of my motorcycle myself, I just don't know how much balancing beads I should put in it. My tire size is a 120-90-18. Anyone on here with experience with this?

I would just bypass it. I can't find any anywhere myself. You'll have to run a line from the tank with a filter on it to the big nipple between the 1st and 2nd carbs, and then put a cap on the smaller nipple in between the 1st and 2nd carbs. Then you'll have to use the fuel petcock to shut it...

Ok.... So, I forgot that I had the bike on a kickstand, and not up on the work stand. al the gas was running into the 1st and 2nd carbs, and not into the 3rd and 4th carbs. now to tune it them. anyone have any tutorials on fuel air mix screw adjusting? Ive heard that using a temperature gauge...

OK, so I just finished getting some tips that had been jammed in my carbs drilled out. The same ones that the cylinders aren't firing on. I checked the bowls, and they do have fuel. I replaced all 4 spark plugs. I do not think that I can adjust the float height on my carbs at all, there is no...

I found a guide on how to make your own float tool, and I've found the specs for the height, but once I get it on, how do I adjust the floats? Is there a screw somewhere? Anyone have a video or something around here?

I had a mechanic say that I might not have the floats set correctly, is there a place where there's a tutorial for this? I took the floats off and put on new float needles, and then just put the floats back on, assuming they would be still preset, I'm assuming I was wrong. I just need someone to...

There's a picture and some explanation on this page: http://honda-cb750-s.456789.n3.nabble.com/1981-750-honda-c-vacuum-hose-routing-td3192034.html I'm not sure if this is my problem or not. Like I said, its running directly from the tank to the nipple between the first and second carbs.

UPDATE: got it running last night, however, it is hard to start, I had it idling at 1k rpm, however, after about a minute it quit on me. Where should I go from here?

OK, so here goes, I bought a 1982 cb750sc nighthawk a few months ago, and have now gotten to working on it. The garage I bought it from had the bike running with starter fluid before I bought it and said it was sitting for about 3 years, so the carbs were plugged. I bought a carb kit off of...

Free parts are always awesome
