1975 Honda Motorcycle Carburetion Manual
« on: October 11, 2006, 07:36:12 AM »
I downloaded a copy of this 29 page marvel some time ago, but it drove me nuts because it was totally locked - no printing, no cutting, no pasting, no nothing, just look at it on the screen.  So, after much electronic hacking (and by this I don't mean anything eloquent, but more like "hand me the electronic sledgehammer...") I have converted it to a wide open, totally unlocked, printable .pdf file of reasonably good quality.  I'm sure to have broken several laws and ethics, but damn it, I wanted to print the thing.  It's about 4 meg, so I can't attach it, but I'll be happy to send it to whomever wants a copy.

Thanks!  ;D

Any other downloadable manuals floating around?  There is a local guy that is giving me a copy of the original 750 manual.  It's too big to email, or I would already have it.  :(

csendker, you're a saint :)  I've got one more shot at tuning my carbs before Saturdays dyno run and this file, along with all the great help and advice from members of this forum, will help me make the best intuitive decision/wild guess as to what to put in'em. ;D

Actually, I think I recall that I was de-sainted or whatever (St. Chris that was...).  ;)  Hey Klark, you or anyone else having troubles, just pop me your e-mail and it will be on its way...

Thanks so much for this. I had this before, but imagine my surprise when I tried to print it and take it out to the garage with me.
