Topic: Just snapped tappet adjuster, desperately need a replacement for trip-Austin,TX

[hevykevy420]

If anyone is in Austin or vicinity and could provide a tappet adjuster for a '78 cb750k i'd be forever grateful, damn thing just snapped, I guess I overtorqued it.

Was hoping to leave on a big trip on Sunday

This is why some of us have spares..

 BTW.. I think the torque it takes to snap one is not even in the same universe as the torque it takes to hold this in place. Perhaps you need a manual.

 I think the nut is the same on many models, should be easy to find one, did you try the dealer?

I was able to get one from the dealer.....that was a couple of years ago, but you never know.

I'd give you one, but I couldn't it there by sunday. If you're still interested, let me know!

Same here, mate, sorry.  I'm in Illinois so there's no way I could get to you by Sunday.

Is the adjuster on a 1972 K2 750 the same as on the 1978? Look for a PM. I'm near Hutto. (That's a bedroom community to Austin, y'all).

According to the Parts Lists, the tappet screws are the same from K0 all the way through the F series.
