    CB750 K1 jetting Help

    Hi, 1971 CB 750, runs well, carbs synced. With gas off, slowing down I get allot of sputtering as I down shift. I have check plugs and moved needle to lean out mixture with no improvement.

    Carb Jetting Weird!

    I understand that every bike has different requirements for carb jetting, but I feel this is super weird. Let me know your thoughts. I just finished a build and now I'm trying to get the carbs in line. I changed to UNI air filters and a 4 into 1 exhaust. I expected a significant increase in...

    Best place for a clutch replacement kit?

    I understand that these bikes are pushing 50 years these days but surely there’s still a way to get new clutches (plates and springs) for them right? I’ve done some digging online and found only one place that seems to sell it as a kit. After a little more digging on some more common sites...

    Hopefully not a big, boring thread...

    But a thread about big-bore kits and other modifications for them to work optimally. Several decades ago I did a Wiseco 836 kit conversion to one of mine. I seem to recall the kit included heavy-duty studs (or maybe not...) but the shop I bought the parts from made sure they were included. This...

    Tuning without gauges?

    This post is really asking two questions. Is there a way/What’s the best way to tune the carbs without those pressure gauge setups that I see on youtube? Also, my bike used to run fine-ish, but lately it had been choking itself out. It would run fine for a spell, then stop revving past 3/4k and...

    Barnett Clutch

    I purchased a Barnett heavy duty clutch for my 750 many years ago and am now installing it. The kit came with 2 more fibers and steels than factory. I measured the fibers and they are at discard measurement of 3.0 mm which I assume makes up for the extra fibers but I am having problems...

    Difficulties finding carburetor fuel inlet

    Hello, I recently bought a 1977 cb750 k7, however, the fuel lines weren't connected. It looks like the carburetors have two inlets on top, but I can't find which one connects to the fuel tank or if both have to be connected. Could anyone point out what each inlet is used for?
