I'd say 3600 is about what its worth if it was ride able. Now the key is figuring out how much it will take to get running. It may just need the carbs cleaned, or it could need a full rebuild. It was probably parked for a reason. I wouldn't pay more then 2800 for it. Even if it needs a...

Part it out, and buy a complete bike. In the long run you're gonna spend more money buying everything it needs. These bikes are CHEAP and it'll have the keys and title to boot! I just had one offered to me at $1500 that needed nothing.

I'm constantly adjusting my idle. As the engine warms, and the oil warms, I slowly turn the idle down when I'm at red lights. It always requires 1/8 to 1/4 turn up when I'm cold starting it.

X2 on the advice to start with original spec jet recommendations!

I use the cheapest oil I can find on my 72 CB750, and here's my logic behind it.... Think about what kind of oil was being produced in the 70's back when these bikes were produced. Even the cheapest oils these days are miles ahead of those grades of oil from the 70's and 80's. I think the...

Yep! I lived in a log cabin, on a river, in Montana, with no cell service, inbetween Bozeman, MT and West Yellowstone, MT.

I have a 1969 CL350 along with my 72 CB750. I still have the original red and white paint on my cl350, with only 7k miles on it.

I'm new to Chicago and this is my first summer here. I've been riding around the city alot and was wondering if there are any other CB750 riders out there in Chitown? I see a shit ton of bike riding around, but I havent seen a cb750's yet. I had a great time out riding around in the 83 degree...

I wouldn't stress over the idle until you get a good sync on the carbs. My bike idles happily at 1200, and i rarely go below that.

I've had this bike 3 years, and it's been a blast to work on, and ride! This was taken 5 minutes from my house.

Love this bike! I'm so jealous of your exhaust, and paint. Is the paint original?

What did that lift cost you? I'd love to have something like that! Nice bike too! What bike is in your first post? Old cb or cl?

Hell yeah man, glad it worked out for ya!

Whats the price for the package? Gotta have a listed price per the forum rules.

I've also used them before, and never had an issue. It's spring, and everyone is tackling their projects right now, so I'm sure they're super busy.

You should give it a shot yourself. They really aren't that hard to rebuild. It's the sync'ing and getting the right jets that's the hard part, but it should be pretty straight forward for that elevation unless its modified. I've sync'd my carbs myself 3 times now, and it was a piece of cake...

I use a razor blade too, but be-careful bcuz you can gouge soft aluminum. I usually try and soak the gasket it something like motor oil, then use a small metal wire bristle brush.

Well I just figured that you've heard of this stuff called "Restore" that literally restores lost compression in engines. You can pick some up at any local parts store. Everytime I use it, my compression doubles! Shit really works, and it's so cheap compared to cost of a rebuild.

It may not start, but then he'll know what the issue is.

Like the earlier post said, I'd give a couple hundred bucks for it, and that's about it.

1972 Honda CB750

You should download all the manuals you can find on this bike, and then sit down and read them. You will be surprised how much you'll learn! That is the best piece of advice you will ever receive on these forums. You're welcome

Beautiful bike! Gotta keep that one original. I doubt you'll find new mufflers for it, pretty hard to come by. Did you adjust the idle screw?

jesus christ man, read some of the threads on here, everything your asking has been asked a million times. Maybe try the search function too

The only thing that links cylinder 2 and 3 is the ignition coil. Fuel problems would not be shared by those two cylinders. Switch the coils and see if the bike isn't firing on 1 and 4, that would be my first step.

Im running it and i really like the sound. its really loud without the baffle in it, which is how im running it. Make sure to replace the crush copper seals when changing your exhaust. one thing i really dont like about it, is that it drags on the ground when i really lean the bike over to...

I just bought a bike and noticed my #2 carb is leaking gas too! The PO said he just took the carbs apart and cleaned them. I'll let you know what I find if I get into it soon
