CB750 Enthusiast
To recap: got an '82 CB750C project to work on, traded a laptop I didn't use, and ~$30 for a uHaul trailer. Sweet deal in my books.
First off- cleaned, took things apart, secured everything else, and attempted to start 'er up: engine would only run on Choke, and spewed gas from carb 2/3 area.
Took carbs out to see if things could be cleaned, or start rebuild. The state of the parts was, pretty bad, there was gunk everywhere, and most of the rubber parts were on their way out or torn. During the disassembly, I noticed that two of the Pilot screw tips were broken for carbs 2 and 3, and firmly stuck on the hole inside. Got my thinking cap on and checked idle circuit as well, the nozzle was nasty. Tried my best to nudge the broken pieces out using a 90-degree pick, but no dice.
LINK: Referenced this post regarding broken Pilot Screw tips.
Looks like I might be in for a bit of a pickle, but since this project is already underway, I was looking up replacement carbs or alternatives.
LINK: I ended up reading about Murray's Carbs being sold as a plug-and-play kit. I know there is some pushback against pod-filters on these Keihin carbs, but is this a viable alternative route I can go towards and get the project going, essentially doing with different carbs altogether?
Planning on doing stripping, sanding and restoring the paint of the frame/tank after deciding what to do regarding carbs.
Thanks in advance for any and all info!
