To be honest, I've never changed them. My advice would be torque to spec (whatever it is).a quarter turn back seems like a lot to me.

Best to use an ignition powered wire in a power block. Or go off the battery with a relay that uses ignition power as the signal wire.

Beautiful set up

I would second that idea. I'm not sure about this, but I would think the 900 cylinder heads are bigger than the 750, and for that...

As long as any air in the line can travel back to the tank, you're fine. But I would shorten it. I put a similar filter on my 81 750...

Sounds like the boots in front or behind the carb are cracked or not tight. When this happens, the air gets in and creates a high idle...

Check your steering bearings in the neck of the frame.

The rubber plugs go in a port on the carb, inside the bowl. Likely contributing to your issue. You need to fix that anyway, so just go...

I also forgot to ask: are you using stock bars with stock cable lengths? A lot of people get shorter bars but use the same cable and...

Check the part of the clutch housing the cable attaches to, make sure that pivots easily.

Ah, then you likely have a spark issue.

You did a number on that air box. The way you describe it at high speed tells me it is lean at the top end. Your plugs say rich. It...

Sounds like you either don't have spark on the black plugs, or the jetting is so rich the bike bogs. Oh, and that screw can be...

How about continuity from the wires of the switch to their ends?

Is your bike charging according to spec? Can you find a way to check the charging system at the time it usually dies? I ask because...

When you checked the switch, did you verify continuity when it was depressed?

Oil hoses to the oil tank

Yeah, that's running rich, alright.

All those 4 into 4 are pushing 50 years old and they rot and rust when stored outside, etc. If i had to guess, of all the CB750s I've...
