I really need some help here. As you can see in the photo, my carburetor cable and linkage is obviously very misaligned. It's probably off by a good quarter inch or so. I see no way to correct it and I see no room for adjustment from side to side. Anyone have any ideas and thanks in advance.
Thanks Digger...so in your opinion, will it be ok? I should have mentioned that all I hoped to accomplish was a good running stock motor. I did some digging and found that I'm probably losing 17-18psi just from high altitude losses, which should put me around 147-148 psi at sea level. Also, I...
So I just completed a complete rebuild of my '75 SOHC. New pistons .050" over, good quality gaskets, Viton valve seals, stock cam. Head was professionally rebuilt and a reputable machine shop did the boring. Has 22psi oil pressure while cranking. I decided to compression test it just to be sure...
Thanks Digger, I think I got it. One question- is it possible to get the timing off by 180 degrees or not? I say no, a friend says yes. Doesn't seem possible to me...
Thanks Digger. I knew you would chime in at some point. Yes, at least I got cylinder #1 right. I kind of finally figured out what you are saying. So if the notch on the end of the camshaft is at 12 o'clock when cylinder 1 is at TDC, is it at 3 o'clock when #2 is at TDC, 6 o'clock for #3, and so...
Hello all. I'm at wits end and hope someone can help me.
75 SOHC motor. Just did a stock rebuild. Head professionally rebuilt. Everything lines up as per the manual. #1 cylinder at TDC, notch on the cam pointing up, etc. I adjusted the valves on cylinder #1 no problem. According to the shop...
Hello all and great forum.
This is my '74 CB750 Cafe project. Started with a bare frame and a swingarm, that's it. Using a 2003 CBR600RR front end and some Cognito Moto bits. Haven't found a SOHC motor yet but I'm looking.
Here's my problem- I've kind of hit a wall because I'm using a gas tank...
Hello all. I've searched for the answer to my problem. Please help if you know the answer.
I replaced my worn out front sprocket with a new one. I replaced the retaining washer as well.
I have everything tightened down, but I can still wiggle the sprocket back and forth a tiny bit on the shaft...
I need a complete set of engine mounting hardware for a '75 CB750 SOHC. I need all the bolts, nuts, brackets, etc., in good condition. PM me and thanks.
Hello all. I acquired a nice '74 cb750 frame with title that I have been building into a cafe bike for about the last year now. I've found that CB750 SOHC motors have gotten SCARCE up in my neck of the woods. Does anyone know if the 79-82 CB650 engine can be made to work in my frame? I have a...
