CB750K1 - Spark Advancer - Lubricant??
« on: August 08, 2011, 09:03:38 PM »
I disassembled the spark advancer (pic below) to clean the assembly of dirt and grime.  It feels like the assembly is lubricated with grease, but it could be old oil.  I looked in the shop manual and I could find no reference concerning lubricating the assembly.  Anyone have any thoughts?

Steel on steel mechanism, needs no oiling..... in fact do not oil, just clean and verify it moves freely, that's my understanding.
If your sure it's a carb problem; it's ignition,
