new guy with a 73 cb 750 four k project
« on: October 15, 2013, 12:03:52 PM »
well its been twenty years since I've had a CB750,and i picked one up that looked to be all their..the guys at kzrider forum told me this is a good place to go for 750 info.. well the bike needs ALOT more work than expected ..I've just started a complete carb rebuild..(first big snag ) the number 3 carb float pin was jb welded and it did not hold, (this could have been the reason the bike caught fire on the last guy who owned it.)  so i sent it off to get it micro welded..    checked valves and wear out of adjustment....tank was solid rust its nice and clean now...this is wear I've stopped..I'm waiting on the carb body to return.and have sprayed the bike down with strong arm oil and pb blaster..this wont be a complete restoration,(even though it should be) , its definitely a frame on rebuild..after the carbs are back and rebuilt ill see if she goes down the road if so that's when the bulk of the work will start....it needs everything else you could think of. that's why I'm here and writing this so maybe ill stay motivated and hopefully pick up some good knowledge from everyone..

welcome to the forum and good luck on this one.
download the shop manual from this site, and go through all the 3000 mi maintenance items.
Its the best place to start on the journey to makin' it run, and there's plenty to do there until your carbs come back.

Thanks will do that. Taking me a little while just to learn the site. Recommendations on buying good parts somewhere would be greatly appreciated. I want quality parts and I don't mind spending an extra few bucks but I'm going to need everything from bearings to Seal's to brake parts wireing exhaust so if anybody got any good ideas on where to get parts like I said I'd appreciate it..

Welcome and good luck with build :) I`m wondering what the white fairing in the floor goes on, looks like old HD maybe.
