    Hi from sunny Chesterfield U.K.

    Congrats on your CB750F2N purchase. I now have a 1979 cb750 limited but had a blackbird in the mid 2000's. I liked the blackbird but it can't match the look of the cb750's engine that's a work of art unto itself. Enjoy your bike.

    Opinions on Murray's Carbs?

    I rebuilt my stock carbs two months ago and put pod filters on. Plugs were white when I checked them as it was running too lean. Since then I've gone back to the airbox that made it run better and now I've re-jetted the carbs to 110 main jets (was 102 stock size) and pilot screws from 1.5 turns...

    82 custom just will not ideal below 5000

    Too much air is getting into the motor. Check for vacuum leaks.

    I bought some cheap ones off amazon and they worked for me. The old ones were really hard and had no give to them.

    Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check the carb boots by spraying carb cleaner on the joints while the bike is idling. If it revs up then you have air leaking into the engine at that spot. I had the same problem with mine and needed new rubber carb boots as mine were dried out and didn't seal anymore.

    Use lots of brake cleaner to clean out the passages and then hit them with compressed air to push all the dirt out of them.

    Those are the 1979 style floats that use adjustable float needle, you can use yours. Check the 4into1.com website they have carb kits. This one has both types of float needles. https://4into1.com/carburetor-rebuild-complete-kit-honda-cb750c-cb750k-cb750l-1979-1982/ Vintagecb750.com has kits...

    cb900 had 32mm Keihin carbs. cb750 has 30mm Keihin carbs. I'd stick with the 30mm cb750 ones or buy a new aftermarket set. Any used carbs will need rebuilding so don't spend too much on them, I wouldn't pay more then $150.00 on a set because a good rebuild kit is going to be at least $80...

    The 650 carbs will be smaller. Keep looking for a local 750 set, used carbs that need rebuilding shouldn't cost more then $100.

    I would try soaking the broken tips and then hitting the fuel circuit with compressed air to see if they dislodge.

    1979 to 1983 will work. Only difference will be the floats on the 79 and later ones have a added on (separate part) vacuum port for the fuel petcock.

    Try soaking the carb passages with marvel mystery oil or deep creep for a day or two before disassembling them to loosen up the frozen and gummed up parts.
