Like that Idea. About a different oil pan Walter

Pretty bike

One more thing, when adjusting the valves should the timing mark be on the “T” for top dead center or the “F” Mark Walter

Thank you, for your information. I will get the valve and timing chain just perfect on my ‘79 750K with wind jammer Walter Houston

Dear 750 people, I am trying to adjust my values on my 79 750k. My valve is at .007. My shim on that valve .295 mm. Would I place a higher shim (.305) or a lower shim (.285) to get the valve to .005? Walter Houston

hello bikers Attached is my valve clearance Which ones needs adjustment Walter

Shims, So I guess, all shims are the same. From Honda, from EBAY, from Amazon, from old bike darn. I just don’t want to get inferior ones. Have a 1979 here Walter Houston

I just had the same hole and used JB weld. Worked fine on leaks

Help on the Cam Chain ‘79 750K As I rotate with 17mm wrench the front cam chain will get tight then loose then tight. I have tightened the tension bolt while tight. But still while turning the 17mm wrench. It will get tight then loose. Should I replace just the front tensioner? The ‘79 had 7976...

Yes, most bolts on my bike, I like to replace with quality graded bolts. Some has heat stress and are brittle. Walter

I use a feller gauge to bench sync the carbs. Just used the vacuum gauges once. With the feeler gauge all was set greate. With the pilot screws. 1-1/2 and ride. Put the plugs and adjust. Walter

One other. The cam chain which runs straight is the tight one. The cam chain which runs vertical is the one which is tight loose tight. I fell that is the one for the back bolts.

Ok, So on the cam chain, there are two. The front one towards the front tire is tight. The back one towards the rear tire. loose the two bolts there. Rotated the 17mm bolt ten to twelve times. It get tight then loose then tight. Tighten the two back bolts while tight. Rotated the 17mm again...

Thank you, I will check my valves now and put valve cover back on. I have a ‘79 and an ‘81. So, I work on one and ride one. Walter

Ok, got a small hole on the side of a ‘79 750K, Took the Vance covers off and both cam chains are loose. Unscrews the bolts and rotated the engine until. Tight and then tighten the bolts. Question: how much play if any should there be on the cam chain? Walter/Houston

Thank you, Walter H-Town

Ok found the oil leak, not a bolt but a crack. See picture….so, what ya’ll JB Weld or gasket sealer high temp. What will adhere to aluminum? Walter H-Town.

1981 with Honda Jammer and 1979 with Vetta Jammer. On the left is the new 4 into four pipes for her, on right is the before pic Walter Texas

I found my four into four pipes for my 1979 750K on EBay. They were not there for months and one day they showed up. Try “Hot Wheels” in Jordan MI. Used motorcycle parts. Got my Vetta Windjammer there and other parts. Walter

I’m going to take some high temp gasket maker and bead around the area. If it does not stop it, it just might slow it down as a temporary fix.

The bolt was loose. Tighten with 10mm. Still had oil around it. Should I take off valve cover and tighten head gasket bolts or tighten the bottom bolts

Hello all, I have a USA ‘79. Rebuilt carbs, put on stock 4 into four pipes. I have an oil leak, not in the standard place. See pictures and tell me what y’all think. And what action I should take. In the picture is baby power. Walter

I just use a feeler gauge

I have been using feeler gauge to synchronize my carbs. After the rebuild before you put them back on the bike. No need to do anything else.

HI ya'll, should I purchase new pipe joint collars, when I install some used pipe four pipe system. having trouble getting the old collars in the used pipes. these are the collars which came with used four pipe system they were all jumbled up so, I don't know what pares are. and maybe new ones...

Count me in

another question, would y'all put new pipe joint collars on the headers or just clean the old ones. Walter

Fellow members, whom would you purchase a quality gasket set for a 1979 Honda 750k. The motor only has 8000 miles but the oil leak is driving me nuts. Thank you
