    Setting float height on 1979 cb750K

    Looking for proper procedure to set float height. Manual states height should be 15.5 mm, but unsure if this is with carbs lying flat or turned on side. Having difficulty getting 15.5 mm when carbs are on side? Thanks for any input.

    '79 CB750F Super Sport -- Carburator Rebuild Kit

    Can anyone recommend a carb rebuild kit for a '79 CB750F Super Sport ? I have been told the '79 is *unique* in that it had metal tabs on the floats and "will need a flat top needle and seat", so I wanted to make sure I get the correct product. I would also like to replace the bolts with Allen...

Carb #1 is by far the worst and the others only begin to leak if you leave the gas on...

    Stock Airbox Air Filter

    I have a 1980 CB750C. The air filter seems to fall down a few minutes after I put it in. Is there something that is supposed to be holding it up? I feel like something is missing on my airbox that holds the filter up.
