Wish I could post a pic of my deserving CB750…

Hmmm....I have a 78 750K, but engine is just an E....

Aren’t all the engines marked “E” regardless of F, K models? I completely glossed over the fact they were different years - too much cough syrup LOL

From what I’ve heard and read, you’ll never get matching frame/engine numbers because of Honda’s QC practice of pulling random engines from the assembly line to test.

It looks like a Nighthawk without the side covers

[emoji1318]What they said

Putting them on “straight” - all four at once - sounds logical, but I’ve always done it one at a time. Start by attaching to #1, tighten clamp enough to hold in place, then the same with 2, 3, 4. You will need to wiggle and finess as you go but can fine tune everything into place once all four...

I first thought you were having trouble attaching the airbox to carbs, that’s why I asked Now it sounds as if you’re trying to attach the box and then put the whole assembly on - am I miss reading that?

Are the carbs already on the bike? Are the air side boots in the air box or on back of the carbs?

Good to know!

I get a drip from there if I let it (‘78 CB750K) idle on the side stand - been wondering about this myself.

For now.... I would make sure the carbs are properly synced.

Of course there are always swap meets - $10

I use Dime City Cycles, vintagecb750.com, and Bike Bandit. There's plenty on eBay too.

Machine shop? Just thinking a half decent one could fab up a new one
