New to the forum and already asking for help...
I've started restoring a 1976 CB750A. It hasn't been started since 1989 so you can imagine what the tank, carbs, and brakes looked like. I got those straightened out, changed the oil and plugs - the bike started right up.
I found a leaky float bowl that I fixed with JB Weld. It blew about 2 pounds of crap out the muffler but runs reasonably well. The problem is that although the shift lever and light tell me that it is in neutral, the rear wheel spins like crazy. When I apply the rear brake the engine tries to stall. It is in gear and I don't know what the problem is.
Any Hondamatic experts that can offer advice?
Thanks,
Jim
