76 cb750 cam vs 1974 750 cam
« on: April 15, 2006, 10:41:52 AM »
first off i didnt bother to sort through all the pages about cams on this site i dont really have the time. anyways i have a 74 cb750 the cam is shot from a rather stupid incident involving a backed out cam gear bolt that broke off the flange for the gear. So i got 76 cam off of ebay that i know should fit But is the profile the same. will the bike run slightly differnt or what. cam shaft preformance is not my strong point some info would be appreciated

It will run, the profile might be a bit different but not enough to need any mechanical alterations just maybe jetting and that not deffinate
