Schooter's CB 750 Cheesy wanna-b build!

ya, well if i need diagnostics, all i need to do is hook the cable back up...

 

That might be kind of difficult when you are driving down the road trying to see at what rpm the engine is cutting out or seeing if it will pull redline in gear etc.

 

looks good schoot! is that seat mounted or just sitting there?

 

just sitting there... need to make a female end for the male tongue (did i just make a funny?) on the front of the seat, and drill a hole on the back and throw a bolt through it..... lol

 

thanks... i had a dream last night that it got really warm outside, and my neighbor went by on his harley, and my dad was working on the bike with me... and we started it up and went through all the gears.... it sounded sweet, lol, but the vibrations from it goign through all the gears made it fall over on the center stand then i woke up, phew

 

Well, its been awhile since i last posted.. mainly becaus ethe guys at cb750c made me feel like poop for making my bike looks pretty before getting it running properly... well she runs!!!! not great, but i now have a starting point.... it idles high.... and could possibly have spent rings in the #1 cylinder.. shouldnt though for a 12k bike... i think, lol,

oh ya, thre was a biiiig puddle of gas under the bike when we started it... and the 1&2 carbs were wet... but we dried everything up, ran it again, and it was dry, so the floats might have been stuck and then freed themselves...

Should have seen the look on my dads face when she fired up... made it worth getting yelled at for making his garage a mess, lol

and the bad side, today i blew up my moms snowmobile... i think the crank went out... this is going to put a big hault to my motorcycle fixing, and riding.. poop

any suggestions for the #1 cylinder... that set of pipes was upstares where it was cold, could have been steam, but i dont think so... and im using my maxim tank, lol cuz theres no clearcoat on the honda... and theres seafoam in the tank.. but its on one cylinder... i think im going to worry about it when its all together...

ill post some pics tomorrow

 

My dreams were different at your age. :?

 

lol

 

you killed the sled?! thats a capital offense!!!!

engines starting is always music to my ears after i have done some tinkering!

 

well, no pics, but i got the tailight to have a running light and a brake light that uses the old switches... i jumped some wire that was always on when you turned the key on, i think its the reaer brake light switch, anyways, i almost got kicked off the cb750c website for calling them old farts and posting new threads with every change in my project... they are alot different than you guys, theres only about 3 diffeent guys that post stuff, and usually its just sarcastic crap that doesnt help you one bit.
I've really only found out that clymer manuals make tough mans toilet paper, have pretty pictures, and that pods are bad.

oh i got my 4-1 exhaust ready to go on, along with a surprise that you guys will see later on... its my dream to put on a bike, ive mentioned it before... ill see if you guys can figure it out.

so before the engine will run properly, ive got to get the valve seal changed on one cylinder or the rings changed.... i have to wait until spring... and idea when the first day of spring is? thats when my dads friend can work on it, the one that was a honda dealer.. my dad wont let me take it to my local honda dealer. ive got to paint some more things and get them clear coated... and some new sprockets and a chain, and should be ready... i painted the reaer fender, but after looking at it for awhile, i found out my red stripe is crooked and off center (slap forehead)
cant wait to get this sucker running and cruising the streets and making lots of noise.

peace out, girl scouts

 

CB's are great bikes. Cafe that thang!!!!! www.cb750cafe.com

 

seriously? I hope you never plan on taking the engine apart after you seal it with paint.

 

lol, oops

 

ohhhh no you didnt!

well hopefully you will never have to take it apart, hahaha

 

i wont... a mechanic will... or my dads friend, or a blow torch... lol shoot, he doesnt have to split the casses, just pull the head off.. or the top valve part, im not sure... but im sure he will have fun

 

i agree with schooter on the cb750 forums (i was a member there when i was trying to get that POS 750c runnin i still have it though, its just collecting rust) they have a tendency to belittle people and there not nearly as helpful. These forums are a lot better.

 

Thank you... i have posted probably 5-10 threads, with not one answer to my problem.. flippin stupid.

 

schooter whats your issue with the cb750 offhand????

 

burns oil in one cylinder, 3 carb bowls leak/overflow, fixed my electrical issues
