Topic: How does my bike sound to you?

[tydeus]

This is my 1977 CB750K. New points/condensers, new plugs, new Dynacoils, new spark plug wires. It's always had a bad stumble off of idle but it seems better after I updated the ignition system.

Here's a short vid:

All four pipes are getting hot, it just seems to stumble here and there. I'm not sure HOW its supposed to sound. I know it's a 34 year old bike so maybe my expectations are too high?

sounds just like mine

sounds like mine, same rattle from clutch area an all.

Stock airbox? Clean air filter??

Sounds pretty good, all 16 seconds! Have you sync'd the carbs?

[tydeus]

Well I guess I should have recorded a longer vid. I have not synced the carbs yet. What's the agreed upon best sync tool for the job? I assume it's easier than the valve adjustment.

Also, thanks for confirming that the bike sounds fine!

To me, it sounds like your timing might be a tad off, but other than that it sounds okay. I can hear the valves ticking away which means they're not tight.
