The twin carb thing solves nothing but frame issues with like a custom frame. Best way to throw away 10 hp. solid as a rock there is. If you can fix two carbs then four is not an issue other than for making excuses.

Idle hanging high if the idle has been reset to correct when...

Follow up for others... I replaced my boots since they were original anyway... but that did not fix my issue. Leak test showed the boots and the vacuum lines were not leaking. The idle was reset and after resetting it several times, it fixed the issue. Either the perfect setting or it's sweet spot was very finicky on this 35 year old bike!

Hello all, new member after just picking up my 81' CB750 Custom yesterday. Met a guy that was just tired and giving up riding so he sold her to me for 300 bucks... In pretty good shape, ride-able but rough from neglect, chrome is all perfect as is frame... Little to no rust, seat perfect... Frame is very nice... Tank has a couple of dents I will remove them with a new paint job... Nothing missing, everything works... Wanna restore original all chrome 4-4 exhaust or new 4-2. Look to make her look like she did at the showroom floor...
