Thanks for doing the Giveaway. I have a 1980 CB750....it needs parts.

AMC49... thanks for the information about the filter not catching rust, small passage size of the spigots. And I like the idea of soaking the fuel cap in oil. I appreciate you reading.

Would you believe 15 months later I still haven't done this? I bought a gallon of MEK and acetone. I sloshed some acetone around for a few minutes, garden hosed it, then MEK, garden hosed it. Didn't dissolve all of the sealer. How long do you think I should have the MEK in the tank?

Dirt Digger.... Thanks for sharing. How many and on which bikes you've seen these carbs perform poorly? Did you know they were low performers based on the bike model, the pictures, or both? Not sure what my other options are... I could upgrade to dynoman CR29-3026, but that's $1060. And...

Hi, I just removed my carburetors and plan to spray paint them with etch primer, nason urethane primer, then nason ful-base-IR basecoat, then clear coat. Best way to clean the gunk off of them? Not sure if I should use methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), the Klean Strip MEK substitute I can get at my...

This is a 1980 750C. I removed my front wheel in order to take off the fender so I could paint it. When I removed the front wheel, I did not remove the brake unit as I just needed enough clearance so I could get my wrench on the fender bolts. I just removed the axle holders. After putting...

Squeaking brakes after removal, reinstallation of front wheel.

I just sprayed a Nason urethane clear coat with an HVLP gun on some parts of my bike that I'm painting. The manufacturer directions say to buff it by sanding with 1500 grit, then polish. http://www.axaltacs.com/content/dam/NA/HQ/Public/Nason/Documents/TDS/NSN-TDS-496-00-Eng.pdf Problem is...

Some good news in brief.... 1) I flooded the bottom of the gas tank cap with WD-40, and the 2nd wing sprung out. So it clicks into the tank now. 2) I gave the tank a thorough cleaning (garden hose water flush, hot water rinse, shake with ice cubes, vinegar+salt soak for a few days, neutralize...

I used WD-40 dry lube and was able to get one of the two little wings to spring out. So the cap does stay in the tank now; but it's not as secure as I'd like. I'm wondering two if one of the springs is broken. Doesn't look like it's a piece that can be taken apart. If it's just a matter of...

I'll try that...WD-40 on the wings, gently work the key. And I have some WD-40 dry lube to spray into the actual key slot.

It's a key lock. The key does turn, but it's sticky. I've tried moving the key to different positions, but the wings don't spring out in any position.

So I've cleaned the tank out (full of surprises---I'll get into that later), but now the little wings of the gas tank cap won't spring open (they are stuck in---retracted). So the cap is not locked into place; it can easily fall out. Any ideas?

I really like the look of 4-1 exhaust, but am wondering if it will increase the sound significantly. I'd like to keep my bike on the quiet side. I especially like the 4-2-1 MAC Honda...

I have a 1980 Honda CB 750C. When I switch to the reserve supply, the bike dies. Funny thing is that even though the engine doesn't seem to be getting fuel, I can see gasoline flow through the filter when when I twist the petcock to the reserve supply. Once after the bike died after I tried...
