    Exhaust Compatibility

    Hey there, I have a 1978 CB750k. I had the stock exhaust on mine but had a rust hole in it, so I chopped it right below the foot peg…. Bad idea and wish I never had. Haven’t ridden it much at all, barely had any torque after that, now the bike will barely pull its own weight. Thinking I burnt...

    Choke not engaging

    After taking my 1978 cb750k carbs apart for a rebuild, taking plenty of pictures and videos, I put it all back together and now my choke is not engaging to close the butterfly valves. I did it just as I took videos of, so I know the springs are in the right position. The cable is moving and...

    Carb Screws

    Alright guys, I’m totally new to the carbs on these. I have just left them stock for as long as I have had the bike, just did a deep cleaning and new gaskets. I have done a ton of reading, however I have not found much on the screw with a question mark. Pretty sure the a/f mixture screw is on...

    No spark on 2-3, getting power from yellow wire until hooked up to coil

    Hey guys, this is a 1978 cb750k. I am getting spark on 1 and 4, but not 2 and 3. I am getting power in the yellow wire all the way up to the connection to the coil. The multimeter reads that it is getting power, then as soon as I plug it up to the wire that connects the coil it drops off. It has...

    Bike Idling high with small throttle pull

    Hey guys, I have a 78 cb750k. I have done a lot of work on the bike, starting with unseizing the engine, new pistons rings, new valves, valve adjustment, coil packs, spark plugs, carb rebuild, pods and chopping the exhaust just behind where your foot sits to ride. The bike will start, and I have...

    Valve Adjustment/ Cam installment

    I just completed my first rebuild, putting the engine all back together. I have installed the camshaft at top dead center on cyl 1, and to my understanding is also top dead center for cyl 4 (please correct me if I'm wrong because it makes sense in my head but I'm not 100%), now I am getting...

    Tuning for no air box and chopped exhaust

    I have a 1978 cb750k. I took the air box off when I first bought the bike, and it ran without it. Not great, but it would run and I could drive it around. Now, I just chopped the muffler off of the exhaust and it will run for about 3-5 seconds then cuts off. When I give it any gas, it...

    Engine cutting off when trying to accelerate

    Hey there, I have a 78 cb750f. It has been sitting in a barn about 10-15 years. After un-seizing the engine, a bit of electrical work, cleaning the carb 3 times, and a battery, got it fired up and driving again! I have driven it around my apartment complex for about 20 minutes, didn’t run great...

    Will start with starter fluid but then cuts off

    I have a 78 cb750f that sat in a barn for about 10-15 years. I totally rebuilt the carbs, making sure to spray every hole with carb cleaner and watched for it to come out a different hole, made sure the lines were clear and replaced lines that were in bad shape, then put it all back together. It...
