whatever dirt digger says is amazing.... he's a god on this website.... just listen to whatever he says.

you rock stabler!!! thanks for the help. I've gotten sidetracked on other more fun issues on this bike, carbs are no fun, what you have said makes sense to me for the most part. if I get stuck again I'll keep asking. this website is a way better source of knowledge than any service manual I have.

keyholes like the one in your picture on one of your forums all tore apart.

is a pd42 carb the stock carb? thanks stabler for the help and I do need a high five in the face with a chair... how bout a lazy boy?

how much for the tank?

just like everyone else..... can't seem to pull a straight answer from other posts and other websites on what adjustments to make. just need to get close. 77 750k, stock motor, 4-1 with shorty can, pod filters. so far I've decided to try 120 mains, 1 1/2 turns on a/f screws. what about idle...

poorly adjusted clutch cable. always leave a little wiggle room with the clutch lever. but don't go too much.

what year 750? also have to change needle clip position and a/f screws. I'm having the same issue. tryin just to get close so I can dial it in. decided 120 mains seem to be where most end up with close to the same setup I got.

with no papers, I hope it's cheap. can be time and money consuming to get papers.

looks like another trailer queen from where I'm sittin..... haha I just kiddin. it ain't a Harley so it's actually meant to be ridden.

replace the diaphragm and gaskets for accelerator pump. they are cheap. better yet have someone professional and familiar with these old carbs rebuild them for you. I spent 100$ on parts and cleaned and scrubbed for weeks at a time and got no where. had them professionally done and poof all...

will do. thanks a bunch.

my vision and what was/is my goal for the honda .... get it runnin and lookin rough this year.... slimy crud run, which is only like a month maybe away, not gonna happen..... and ama superbike races at road America is last weekend in May, the cycle parade would be a riot on it, way more fun than...

ugh..... I hear ya this winter bs can stop anytime now..... I only get to work on the bike Tuesdays and every once in a great while maybe sneak a Saturday in. it's at my buddy's shop. I had it runnin a bit to try and dial in carbs some last week. I checked the oil can this week and it had not...

dirtdigger how would you like to fly out to Plymouth Wisconsin and work on my p.o.s.? I have read a lot of forums in here and it seems like you are the it guy. thanks for the info and advice. where is this drain back valve? how do I go about replacing? I'm trying to get the bike running this...

thanks kannen for responding.

I changed the oil. it was really dirty but no cosmic sparkles and I'm assuming there's oil pressure cuz after a few days of letting it sit all the oil in the bladder leaks down to the pan but once started it comes back to the bladder. is that a good enough check or should I find a gauge and...

your shop looks quite spacious and insulated. I have to do all my projects out of my non insulated 2 car garage with my wife's car and kids crap everywhere. my friend has a nice place, where I do my bigger projects, but it's 30 min away and it's not my tools. it's shops like yours that makes it...

do you have the full range of motion of the throttle cable? aftermarket bars, sticky throttle cable, other peoples mods make me suspicious. but intake boots are a good suspect also. but sometimes simple things cause big head aches.

ooooh she's puuuuurdy!!!

I have a 77k model I bought for 450$. was told the motor was rebuilt but hasn't run in god knows how long. I scoped the motor with a camera and cylinders were clean with nice cross hatching and piston tops had little carbon buildup. scoped the head and looked terrible. like they rebuilt it but...

my bike had a lot of electrical issues and replaced all electrics down to wiring harness for around $400. also had my carbs cleaned and rebuilt for $357 by a shop called retro speed out of Belgium Wisconsin.

I too would like some pointers on jetting for pod filters and a 4 into 1 pipe with little baffling. any suggestions?
