Are we still talking about carbs or are we discussing women??? :laughing:

Understanding women sounds easier!!! :laugh:

Wow! And I thought it was simple carb theory NOT! Give me a year to try and grasp that...

I read the MacGregor Carb Cleaning Services document on cleaning DOHC carbs and was confused by the different numbers they provided for setting the pilot screws 3.0 turns out as compared to the OEM service manual stating 1.5 turns out. I emailed the author to ask why the difference, and he said...

The answer is yes, my son road down yesterday with a number of minor modifications he wanted done. The first was to resync the carbs and set the mixture screws. So I turned the screws out to a total of 2.5 turns out and then resync'd the carbs. I also tightened the swivel ball on one mirror...

But there maybe someone that has taken the chance and found that it may still work with a slight adjustment or a combination or changes such as a different upper cap or spacer.

Part numbers are different and if you research the 82 fork tube is list as being the same for only the 81-82 models only. And the 80 fork tube is listed as being compatible with the 79-80 K&F models. So my bet is no. Someone with more hands on experience may speak up.

My son has ridden it for a week or so now and has said he can feel a slight stumble at the upper end of the throttle range. Question, I saw someone on this forum indicate they too were running 115 - 75 jet set up but they also indicated they have their mixture screws turn to 3.5 turns out. I...

+1 for sure

Thanks for all the help and inherent knowledge it paid off well. I installed the 115-75 jets clean every nook and cranny I could. Set the float levels as per the 15 degree rule and flushed the petcock clean, installed a see through fuel filter and adjusted the PMS screws to 1 3/4 turns out, oh...

After the video and some further evaluation tests I determined I needed to open the carbs to see for myself their condition and the jets that I am dealing with. Stock 102 - 68 jets and pressedin pilots, I used the E string as I too find it the most useful cleansing device. As I mentioned...

I was surprised she started right up and idled quite well after her long sleep. PO said he road her weekly before my son bought her, however the centre two cylinders are struggling. Using a IR tempurature gun the centre two cylinders are not getting gas at idle but do when throttled up, so the...

Thanks, hahahaha yes I am braced for a fun time tuning with these pods.

The weather has been much better the past few days so I rolled the '79 CB750 outside to get some air, while we wait for the seatpad and get ready for a tuning session.

For those that haven't a Facebook account here are a few up dated pics Just a few, there are many more on my Facebook page... it's worth it.

Any idea where you got the fork gators?

I have noticed the hit count on my Facebook page has increased so I hope some of you have visited as a result of this thread. Thanks in advance, things are coming along quite well. I haven't run into too many struggles finding parts... yay!

Started in November when my eldest son delivered a tired CB750K for me to Cafe for him over the winter. I have been retired now for 8 years and have taken up custom building of bikes in the garage. Been doing this for more than ten years as a hobby but now it's more than a hobby. I started a...

Do these pipes fit the '79 CB750K model?
