Gapping plugs, need help.
« on: April 14, 2010, 11:38:03 AM »
Hello all,

After getting stranded last night becuase my 1976 cb750f decided to hate me. What started happening is that anything past half throttle kills the engine and then finally after I get going, when I pull in the clutch and all the rpms to drop, bam it dies.

So i figured it was time to pull the carbs and clean them, I did that just now, and I also decided to get new plugs. Since I am standed and do not have access to my clymer guide I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what to gp my new plugs to. My bike is a 46 cb750f.


Thanks In advance,
Croix

Somewhere in the range of  .024-.030 would be OK.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
