Hi All,
I bought a '79 cb750 last year and was able to get it running. However, I am having a lot of issues and I dont really know where to begin. My biggest issue that I am trying to solve for the moment appears to be a problem with the carburetors. Currently the bike does not start unless the choke is all the way out, and even then, requires a bit of throttle to keep it from dying on me. However, once the engine is hot It runs no problem ~hour. After an hour of riding, the engine idle is really high (no tachometer but if i had to guess it would be approximately 2500 rpm ish range?). I'm also going through spark plugs like its my job, so the engine appears to be running very rich.
Im sure there is a lot wrong, but I would appreciate any suggestions on where to start.
thanks
