Topic: CB750F carb removal

[jmcgill]

Is there any special technique for removing the carburetors on a CB750F?  I can hardly get them to budge and certainly cannot get them out.  I was looking at the FAQ, but only found something for the 550. 

I took the airbox out already and have loosened everything, but still it won't move. 

Thanks for any help!

I take it you are having trouble getting them off the rubber intake boots?

Just took some off a 71 750 project and heat is your best friend. I carefully warmed them well with a heat gun,rubber became more supple and rocking up and down with gloves  they popped right off.

I got them off....guess I was just not using enough "elbow grease"....

I hate the smell of varnished gasoline.

The intake manifold rubbers are still available from Honda. New soft rubbers make removal so much easier

Silicone spray and hot air. I silicone grease them before putting them back on. helps seal and lube the rubber. Look up the wintergreen oil thread.
