    Checking a metric bolt torque chart for that size fastener, I would go with 18 lb. ft. if you must....

    1973, Installing new OEM harness, no power to the black wires (12v pos)

    Sounds like quite the project. I asked 10 people how to route the harness and cables (esp under the tank). Got 8 different answers. But I do have it correct now, and happy to offer any photos, etc.

    '75 CB 750 died while cranking, now no power

    Thanks for checking in... and you are 100% correct-battery! In addition to doing that exact load check, I would fully charge the battery and one start attempt it would be under voltage. New battery and good to go. Happy New Year!

    Poor man's carb sync

    It runs so good I thought I'd share... Completely rebuilt carbs-ultra-sonic cleaning, new guts, the whole bit. Don't have a sync tool, so I loosened the slide adjuster nuts and selected a drill bit that could just fit in the gap between the bore and slide. Adjusted all to same drill bit. Can...
