I am ecstatic. I just got this same bike from a family member. Been sitting for ten years. I couldn’t find any explanation videos on the bike. Finally I found this. Now I have a real shot at fixing up this bike. Thank you so much

Nice job John, I am surprised Mike picked up that big of bike. But in this case looks like it will pay off. Good diagnosis.

[@flipfix]

Your surprise is spot on, I bought this one foe myself. Hoping to make a tidy profit.

Heat gun or hair dryer on the boots can make the job easier removing and re-installing carbs.👍

[@flipfix]

Yeah, I thought about that but then my laziness kicked in. lol

Will be picking up a 1979 CB750K next week. Bikes has not run in at least 5 years. Seller says bike will start but carbs do overflow so they need to be cleaned. Also the brakes need to be done I guess.

[@flipfix]

Way cool! If you don't already know this try using a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the rubber boots between the carbs and head, will help getting the carbs off.

If the mains look clogged, for sure the pilots should be cleaned too.

[@flipfix]

I did clean the pilot jets but I really should soak the carbs properly to clean all passages.

Good idea.@@flipfix
