Gonna keep it short, I hats typing on mobile devices, but want to say hi to the forum and start with a question.
New to the cb750 sohc but not totally unmechanical. That said, no mechanic.
Just picked up a 78 sohc and know nothing about it but that the guy I bought from worked on it but wasn't much better than me, also, not very honest.
When the engine gets hot, I get a lot of what seems like exhaust coming from the area of the air filter under the seat at idle. The hotter the engine, the more smoke blows when it steps down to idle. Wondering if this would be where you would expect to see Ring blowby showing up.
Also seems the oil in res. is clean and stays level, but have a gueage showing fairly low 40psi reved. Thinking maybe not pumping oil and
starting to burn what's there. Cant say, and don't know how to check that out the most simple way. Might unscrew the Guage and see if its just muck coming out. Oil in res looks great, probably better than it should with all that smoke.
Thanks!
