Hi everyone, I have a 1979 CB750 10th anniversary edition.This afternoon I went to remove the left crankcase cover that sits to the left of the oil pump and houses the spark advancer. Of course, I’m in a hurry, and not paying attention or thinking correctly, and remove the 8 bolts and cover...

Following up this question with an exciting statement! After many months (18+) trying to get this bike started, today, for the first time, she started on choke. And, would restart without hesitation and run while they choke was engaged at about 80%. I didn’t keep her running for long (1-1.5...

If I were to replace the main wiring harness on a 1979 CB750 (10th Anniversary), what company/brand would you recommend I purchase from?

Good evening, I did not see this post but just finished my compression test. I used a tool of Amazon that screwed directly into each spark plug hole. When I did the test, I only pulled the coil and plug of the cylinder I was testing. I didn’t pull all plugs, but only because I didn’t see your...

Dirtdigger, thanks - I'll do this tonight after work. Just to confirm, throttle wide open, engine switch to 'run' and hit the ignition button until the guage stops rising? Any other specifics I need to keep in mind (start at 1, end at 4, etc.,)?

Hi everyone, In August of last year I decided to pick up my first motorcycle, a 1979 CB750 10th Anniversary Edition. When I picked it up, it would crank but not start. I have lurked on this forum since then, reading advice and tips on what needs to be done before attempting to start this bike...
