Topic: On a different 750f....

[oldhondarider]

I'm cleaning a cb750f ('75) that I picked up.  It was sitting in a garage and the guy was moving....so fire sale!!! woo hoo!

but the throttle wouldn't turn, the carb wouldn't budge.  I pulled the carbs.. the throttle turns fine..the linkage that is.  

So i'm full into the teardown ( still new to this .....but always having mad fun at it)...  the bowls had varnish.. but also...moss..yep green moss.. LOL


So I followed the previous instructions and pulled the bowls, jets, etc..  but I couldnt pull the air screw?  cause it looks like this.. just turns 360 max.


I think I found out what it was sticking.. #3 appears to be the one bugger..  I found this... what the hell happend here do you think?



heres what the other three look like.

The plastic "cap" pulls off from the air screw and then it will come out. At least one of your slide/needle holders are toast,the one that is loose and crooked,needs repair before reassembly.Varnish will seize them right up if they sit for a very long period as you found out.
