Hi all, I'm Andy from the UK and I'm restoring a 1976 CB750F1. I'll post some pics as soon as I've worked out how to do it.

I had an ofiice in Wakefield in the mid-90's when I worked for Nortel Networks (just plain Nortel then)

It was just off J41 M1 in the quaintly named Junction 41 Business park!

As it was a 3 hour drive (even in my company 5 Series) I always stayed at the Cedar Court Hotel. As I went every week, it wasn't long before the receptionist started saying "Hello Mr Dennis, welcome back. Would you like your usual room  ?..."

At the minute she is a non-runner. I have had the engine re-bored and fitted new pistons but she aint starting. ??? I've checked wiring, spark plugs,fresh fuel etc. I'm gonna take the carbs off tonight and give em a good soaking in carb cleaner, maybe they're gunked up.
I have collected various new parts for her, which I'll put on once she's been re painted and the frame powder coated.
        I'll let you know when I've got her running, cheers, Andy
