Hello,

My name is Scott.  I acquired a 1981 Honda CB750. I am having trouble getting it running.  This seemed like a great place to get some advice.  Pretty new to motorcycles.

Hi again,

I have already soaked the carbs.  The problem is that is felt washers in them.  Being the bike is from the 80's and the previous owner did not take the best control of it, the washers have gone bad.  I can't find any replacements.  I had my dad machine a punch, but i do not know what felt was used. (It could be wool, I am not completely certain.
