    Short through Regulator/Rectifier?

    So after some 'starting' issues, my 1982 CB750C now has a larger electrical issue. With the battery fully charged, I found when I turned the key that the battery voltage would essentially collapse (no lights, nothing) to pretty much nothing. I eventually found that when I removed the 4 pin...

    Ignition coil issue?

    I have a 1981 CB750k that has some hesitation and sputtering under high load, and I’m also continuously getting a black plug on cylinder #2 (even after new plugs). It seems to start up and idle fine, and even runs pretty good for the most part. Cylinder 2 is getting hot right away on startup...

    Sideways play in front drive sprocket (normal???)

    I have been rebuilding a 1979 CB750 engine for some time now (on and off). Since it had been so long since I took my engine apart, I decide to do a mock assembly of my crankcase before I close the crankcase up for good! Everything seems to be fitting well and turning/working as intended (and...

    '82 CB 750C Silly mistake - shorted and blew main fuse, now won't start

    I was getting my 1982 CB750C all buttoned up after getting some light maintenance done for the riding season, and I made a stupid mistake: when plugging in my 2-prong flasher relay back into its location, I plugged in the green (ground) wire instead of the grey signal cable. Heard a click when...

    Good aftermarket spark units?

    Hey everyone. I have a bad spark unit. There are some OEM ones online but I sort of hate to replace an old part with an old part from someone I don’t know. Are there any good aftermarket spark unit replacements? Anything with a heat sink? Thanks for your ideas!

    DOHC pod filters success

    So due to me running across a dual cam bike with no stock airbox and pod filters being my only immediate option I was forced to make them work. Contrary to popular belief not only do they work but they work very well if you take a little time and put a little logic into your thinking.

    Tail light fuse blows when ignition is turned on...

    I'm tracking down an electrical problem in my 1978 Honda CB750a Hondamatic. The tail light fuse (7A) blows immediately when the ignition switch is turned on. I've determined that there is no short in the tail light, and it's working perfectly if it is connected to a 12V source. The tail light...
