SOHC/4 Bikes / Re: (cb750K1) Yolanda was dying, then died, now wont start :(

You did say that the oil smelled of gas. Dont run the bike for more than 60 or so seconds if it does start.
But with the gas smell that means you got stuck floats.

tj, congrats on the new kiddo.  Hope you're getting some sleep! 

I'm looking for the carb-to-motor rubbers, provided they're not cracked - especially the #4 carb's rubber.  I wouldn't mind picking up an extra set of carbs if you have them, too.

« Last post by lordmoonpie on Today at 10:43:27 AM »

Got a small number of CR750 RSC NipponDenso tacho kits available for those of you wanting to build a replica CR750 but can't find the works items at big bucks....you can buy at http://www.moonpie.co.uk/html/cr750_resource_page.html

I only have three right now but may be able to get more. They are fantastic reproductions, really look identical to the originals but with modern internals...

Quick question.
What Pods are you running & where'd you pick em up?
The bike looks great & coming along nicely.

I know anything can be "made to fit".. just wondering if the mounts are similar.

Were down to the nut cutting. whos ready? and whos not. whos going for that matter? I know BG I
 is done and I think Andy is done as well. You are done right Andy? no last minute tube changes right?

where I am at. Need to change Daphs front sprocket and would like to throw some a new clutch in it. Also need to bolt up the mufflers. My bike, would like to do some brake work but likely will just lube the chain and maybe an oil change. Dads bike, who knows. we did get new tires on it but mufflers are still to be figured out as well as all the other things I mentioned. We shall see on that one.

They work on a principle of venturi. Google Motorcycle Carburetor Theory for hours of enjoyment. And check those connections

Homer voice:  maaaagggggic. so the engine sucks in the fuel and air and it atomizes upon exiting the carbs into the spark chamber. I feel like maybe thats where its going wrong. will definitely check bucket connections later. I feel like I am going to go on a solder frenzy...such a more secure connection.

Whoops!  Sorry about calling your scoot a '78, but we have the same carbs.  Good idea on keeping an eye out for the old rubbers in good shape. 

I tried to restore my originals, but I made a ridiculous mistake and got a visit from some perturbed firemen!

Oh, I actually pulled these off the internet .. The ones from my bike are actually boxed up .. I'm in the middle of a tear down .. About a year and a half ago we moved cross country, we had one car and I was commuting during the winter from Philadelphia about 35 miles into DE .. One night in march I got caught in the snow.. A lot of the hardware on the bike was just polished stock steel and all the engine covers were polished alum.

The salt from that one TERRIFYING ride in the snow turned everything to corroded, rusted nastiness .. .. I was disgusted and didn't touch the bike but a few times from then until about a month ago.

Being back and working on it again is very nice .. I'm going to attempt to undercut the dogs in my trans (2nd to 3rd is shot), also HAVE to replace the bearings in the neck and swing arm .. otherwise just getting things cleaned up, replaced, polished, powder-coated and all loved-up again.

Good to see you working with metal now .. When do you anticipate having the metal points covers out for sale?
