As I worked in a snow squall Thursday I thought "why in the world did I move out of tidewater" ( Indian River Road Chesapeake for 18 years).  I ride daily and freeze all winter.  I don't miss the sand on the roads though.

These wonderful little birds are great flyers, delicious eating, excellent for training your hunting dog, and just fun to shoot,or stuff and keep around the house.  Bobwhites can be put with other types of Quail and have very large penis's.  Quail are very popular with the babes.

Hello,
  I am in Norfolk. I just bought a 73 750 this week and don't know where to start.  It doesn't run yet.

I would love some advice from some locals.
Nice cafe Daveman!
Thanks

Gary

Hello Gary, I got mine, a '78 CB750A in September. It sort of runs despite the leaking and unbalanced carbs .... when I can get it started. I believe it will be a good winter project. My regular ride is a BMW K1200LT.

What type of starting problems are you having?

Well, to begin the carbs need a good breakdown and cleaning.  I tried to get them off yesterday, but they don't want to move.  Any suggestions?

I'm no expert on these things but I believe, with the possible exception of the 69 and maybe 70 model, they come off as a block. What do you believe to be obstructing your carb set? Are all of the inlet boots loose?

Hey all, I got the carbs off and have started to break them down. I think I am missing two Air/fuel mixture screws on the 1 and 4 carbs.  The 2 and 3 have connectors right?  anyway, I will see if I can find some replacements.


dusterduce, I am a Triumph guy myself, so I may take you up on that offer! ;D
