    Difficulties finding carburetor fuel inlet

    Hello, I recently bought a 1977 cb750 k7, however, the fuel lines weren't connected. It looks like the carburetors have two inlets on top, but I can't find which one connects to the fuel tank or if both have to be connected. Could anyone point out what each inlet is used for?

    '79 CB750F Super Sport / Engine Finish

    The engine of my restoration functions well, and all it needs is to recover its original shine. This is the silver-painted version, but I'm not interested in re-painting; can I soda-blast the engine as a unit ? ( engine has been removed from frame ). All openings ( exhausts, carbs, etc ) have...

    Just got a free one!!!

    So a friend was looking to get rid of a "mystery" bike. I had no idea what it was. For free, just needed it out of the yard or it was going to the dump. It ran a year ago, sat outside this winter in VT. It was mild. He just wanted to pass it on to make it useful. I said at the least I...

    New member, 1981 CB750K

    I haven't rode for a while. When I was 14-15 I used to "borrow" my father's Honda 750, it must have been a 73 or 74. Great memories. Found a 1981 CB750K with 18K miles on it. Rode it home, but I want to get a fuel filter on it before I ride again. The seller let me know that he pulled it to get...

    1974 CB750

    So I'm new to the CB750. I've restored a KZ900 and am currently working on a CBX, so have some experience. There is a 74 CB750 near me with 11k in what is described as very good original condition. The pictures back that up, but to do a full nuts and bolts restore will cost way more than it's...

    Getting ready to ditch the pods, and go back to the OEM airbox. I will be going thru the carbs again, want to double check a few things. When I rebuilt them the first time, the O-rings for the fuel cut offs were the wrong size, diameter was ok but the cross sectional thickness was thinner...
