Hey ya'll! Just thought I'd stop in and say hello. I haven't forgot about getting a DVD set together of the CB750 build. Been pretty busy with my new business, Resto-Euro LLC. http://restoeuro.com/ We've also got a YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq2CrIU1eaGtzlKwM05y_ow

I'm hoping to find time to produce the DVD by Summer. I'll be sure to share the release here.

Dino!! I love your videos and knowledge. I just picked up a CB750F2 Super Sport 1977. Put a new battery on ithe but nothing happens when I turn the key. This is my first build. Any suggestions?  Oh I am getting 3 manuals that you've recommended on video, Clymer,  Haynes,  and shop manual reprint?

Manuals are available in the technical documents section of the forum for free.

As for your question....sounds like fuses. Check those first. Then check the ground wires.

Re: 1978 CB750 F want it to come back from the dead
« Reply #390 on: March 26, 2018, 07:15:58 AM »
I have a 750 F - 1978  and I'm having a little issues that I think you can help me on.  15 plus years of... "Not in Service".   Plugs are out and it turns over with the kick starter - By Hand.  Not frozen up at all.  Good Sign.   Any way,  saw on your channel the part where you are putting oil in the benched engine and I took note because this is exactly where I am right now.

However things didn't go very well.  Hooked up all the lines.  Put two quarts of oil in the tank and turned it over with the electric starter.  turns fine.  However, the level in the tank is not going down.  Engine sounds the same.  no change in the sound.  All the plugs are off and no carbs on... just like you.   I don't have a way to check the oil pressure with a pressure gauge like you.  The thing that worries me the most is I'm not getting a good cylinder pressure about 80 PSI.   I need some ideas to help me narrow this down.  Is it the Oil Pump?  The Rings?   The timing chain is good. I see the valve train working.  Not seeing any oil going up there and that makes sense because the level in the tank is the same. I just need ideas about a starting point.. Enjoy the shows, love the cat.  But most of all... you do a great job.  Thank your for what you do. :)
Regards,
Jnel

Dino... Does that exhaust look familiar?  Same company but a little different style.  I heard your.  Can't wait to hear mine. Delkevic 100% USA my friend.

I have an up-date on the compression check.  I got another tester.  New.  It gave me 120 PSI in all four cylinders.  Thank God.   Still after cranking for that check... the oil level in the tank has not gone down at all.   At this point I'm going to pull the plug on the bottom of the engine and see if I get anything coming out there.

Any chance you have the oil lines in the wrong place?

Are you starting the engine on a stand, or just spinning it over? If you are starting it you can pull the oil cap on the tank and watch it flow.

Pull the oil galley cap beside the points cover and see if you’re getting oil there. Do the same with the oil filter.

The bike is on a lift. It's not ready to start yet.  No carbs.  Oil lines are pretty hard to get mixed up. But you gave me two good places to check. I'll check that spot by the points cover and the filter for sure.  Thank you.  Appreciat it.

CB750 K0 CLUTCH mount.

Hello,
In the movie I watched the sequence that the discs are placed.
But the logic and the photographs in the spare catalog and in the Climer manual, Reparatur anleitung (German) are others.
If I mount; first the steel disc b against the clutch pressuer plate (in aluminum); I protect it from wear.
In some manuals this sequence is shown, so this would be logic and avoid frictional stress.
So, the correct sequence is?
Thank you.

I really enjoy your YouTube videos, Dino. I downloaded and saved all the CB750 build videos and saved them in sequence. If I can help you by sending you a master, please let me know. You earned the assistance.
