All,
Let me introduce myself. I am Evan. I just bought a 1976 CB750 for $550. There are some problems. I believe the kid I bought it from didn't really know what he was doing when he was trying to figure out why it died on him..... things I found out today:
No fuse box - Unless i'm looking in the wrong spot..... it should bump out at me.
I believe he replaced the regulator and rectifier with a Reg/Rec combo, but there is no connector to the alternator/stator. - check the photos for more detail, is this a regulator/rectifier combo?
There are some dents on the chrome plate on the right side of the engine - is this a problem and should i replace that cover?
There is an interesting part attached to the wiring harness... maybe you can figure out what it is... and maybe it's obvious.
The guy said he replaced the clutch cable, but he never secured it to anything so it melted through to the housing... i'm thinking that should be replaced.
There will be more, I just wanted to get the opinion of smarter and more experienced folks about these problems.
Thanks so much for your help!!!
