Hey guys sorry to make the title seem urgent, but it sort of is.
I have been slowly trying to get my 1977 CB750K running. It has VM29 Smoothbores.
In my project thread you can see all of the frustration and trouble shooting I have gone through:
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=100624.msg1160387#msg1160387I do not get many responses to the questions I have because not many people have the VM29 smoothbores. The guys over at kzrider.com are trying to help me out... but they have no experience in my application.
Here is the problem:
1) I am noob and tried to get the bike running after cleaning the carbs and replacing internals.
2) I had vacuum leaks so I bought new "intake manifolds" from sudco.
3) They fit great no more vacuum leaks.
4) Bike is still not running how it should and I am at the end of my patience and putting in hours trying to figure out what is wrong.
5) Took bike to mechanic.
6) He just called me and said that there was nowhere to hook up the vacuum gauge to balance the carbs.
7) KZ guys tell me their manifolds come with a nipple for this.
there is no logical way to hook up a vacuum gauge to the carbs.
9) WHAT DO I DO??!! Haha, sorry for the caps but I just don't know what to tell the mechanic. He says his hands are tied until he figures out how to balance them. I am searching all over and I just don't know what to do here.
Thanks and sorry for all the urgency. The mechanic wants me to call him back and we were going to discuss what to do next.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
