    Sticky Throttle when Caps tightened

    Update - and fixed! This really wasn't making much sense, as it was working perfectly with the old cables before I messed with it.. Ergo - I screwed something up.. AND.. I had.. The return cable at the throttle end had jumped off the nylon handle, which added friction and messed up the...

    Sticky Throttle when Caps tightened

    Thanks guys.. I've re-routed the cables under the coils and through the frame to the carbs, and it is a little better.. I just tried putting a little pressure on the return spring, and the carbs snapped shut instantly. Reading here that the standard spring is a bit heavy for some people, I...

    Sticky Throttle when Caps tightened

    Thanks for your reply... I'll give it a try, but I don't see how that explains the loose/tight slide caps?

    What did you do to your cb750 today???

    Wow! Those look like they've done a few miles :) I pulled the bowls off mine, and they were good.. couple of idle jets were partially blocked, but easily fixed.. I'm sure with some TLC yours will come up great again!

    Petcock Butchery!

    I recently bought a CB750K2 which was previously owned and maintained by a supposed Guru of all things CB750.. There was a bit of a leak from the petcock, so I replaced it with a new OEM item.. (no more leak!).. I was rather surprised though, to find the leaking item looked like this (see...

    First bike tell me anything!

    Personally, after using/testing on racecars I wouldn't use foam filters on anything.. we found that they are NOT good at filtering fine particles at all, and have a tendency to distort under high revs/intake vacuum.

    Hello from Dave in Encounter Bay, South Australia

    Hi, I'm Dave.. I retired last year, and moved away from Adelaide to beautiful Encounter Bay, South Australia, where I am fortunate in having a rather lovely view, which I stream from my balcony 24/7 : I had a 1972 K2 brand new when I was 16, and have been looking around for a while for a...
