Honda service spec handbook
« on: December 23, 2014, 01:20:17 PM »
 My brother gave me a dealer service spec handbook from up to 1979 when he worked at a dealership. Has anyone posted one of these? It has the tune up and carburetor specs from the mr50 to the cbx. I'm thinking about how to share it.

Maybe I can scan the pertinent (sohc) ones and I can post somewhere or mods can make a sticky. What do you think?

Go to home and then to the SOHC/4bikes then Honda service bulletins miscellaneous documents maybe you can put it there all of them.
Do you have anything on the 750 F3 1978 model in that book?

All the F specs are mixed together over several pages, anything specific?

If you could get those scanned. I am sure that someone could make a PDF out of the scans.

 Recently my scanner and computer were not on speaking terms, let's see if they got over it.

That looks like an incredibly handy reference. I have never seen or stumbled over that in all my google-fu. I would love to have the whole thing it in PDF and print myself out a copy.

Bud said they handed them out to the mechanics and he got one as a parts guy too. He later went to work wrenching at the kawasaki shop and saved it with his other manuals. Probably why he didn't wear it out.

If you scan it, make sure it is readable. I advise to state clearly it is not a Honda document but an 1979 American Honda Motor Co. Inc. issue. The reason for this is that data may differ from what is prescribed for models elsewhere. For instance the CB500 carburetor settings are different from what is prescribed in Europe.

If your scanner is not working, take the Picts with your camera or phone might work.

You live too far away. I have copy machines with scanner at my job. A rather big one, Canon iR-ADV C5030/5035. Scans to TIF, then easy to transform to pdf in my computer with Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Maybe someone close to you can?

just about any home based PC version of an HP, Brother, Lexmark, etc. multifunction printer will scan directly into PDF format.  Make sure you do two sided scanning...it's easy enough.  Or find some kid....he'll know exactly how to do this for you at school and for at most, five bucks, give you back a file.

I've given-up on using scanners.  I find that I can take very good JPEG pictures with my camera and then crop them with Photoshop.  One of the many ways available to create a PDF document, I believe is to load/copy the pictures into MSWord and then convert/save as a PDF document.

No, it goes into chassis and engine. I assume that means it's the same as above although it doesn't say that.
 I notice on the left page it says CB750F & 76. F being the 75 model, just a  reminder we invented the K0 and F0 designations.
