Hi guys...
PREVIOUS MESSAGES :
Thanks Cxman for your guidance before - finally got the chance to check over the Pods in person.
Confirmed I have 'Cheap Pods', but they seem to be a bit of an upgrade on a lot of what I've come across in reviews / youtube breakdowns as the really basic options...
Hey Cxman,
Just found a useful post to back this up online too - is there a fix to my pods to save purchasing new ones?
Alternatively - if I need to purchase new, do you recommend pods or velocity stacks?
Hey Cxman - first up, thanks for trying to help out!
I'm not near the bike right now, but managed to grab an image from the site where I purchased them -
I hadn't spotted anything on the forums etc about that being an issue - other than Pods were reaaaaaal hard to get to work right.
Does...
Thanks Jimbo - Good to hear from you again - big thanks for your help previously!
Question for you - did you ever run a Carb Sync?
I've not run that yet, but figure it may be some of my woes in this carb situation.
RE The Exhaust - Sold it unfortunately mate - threw it on eBay and someone...
Hey Pid - Cleaned them once over pretty good and it seemed to do the job.
They're pretty damn clean in there - even down to float seats etc.
I'm aware of the Pod issues that are bound to be inevitable - but I'm determined to get this right at some point....
Thanks for your guidance!

Hey guys - thanks for stopping by...
Here is my very first bike build - my HONDA CB750 DOHC 1981.
As will become apparent by some of the stupid questions and 'rough around the edge' mods, I'm completely new to any level of mechanics - and bar my 50cc moped and off the shelf Chinese 125cc...
Hey Sonrier,
What do you mean bypassing the carbs?!
Sorry, newbie question again...
I tried to fire the bike with carbs off and plugs out just to check it had compression - it did, but hopefully running a proper test will give a better indication of where I stand on this.
Thanks,
Brandon
@Jimbonaut
Time I have, patience not so much.. I see by getting my self 50 pages deep in your thread you follow that too!
Yeah those float gaskets seem to have warped themselves some by getting wet with fuel too, so hopefully going back tom OEM style fixes the issue.
I spotted a few things in...
Hi Guys,
@CanyonCarver -
Thanks for the guidance mate.
Opened the Carbs again to check float needles and floats themselves - Pics attached.
They seem correct and in good working order - they did only overflow when I bypassed the vacuum fuel valve and turned the tank petcock to ON; so figure...
Hey Canyon,
1) This sounds crazy now it's come to not starting, but...
I bought the bike via an import eBay shop that takes bikes from the USA and ships them to the UK.
Most don't start and they advertise as such, so when purchasing I stated I'd only take something that starts and runs...
Hey Guys,
I'm in the middle of a rebuilding a CB750 1981;
This is my first ever build and It's been a whirlwind of forums, google, youtube and a local motorcycle shop to get me on track to this point.
However, I've hit a bit of a snag; the bike wont start / fire, and I wondered if any of you...
So - provided testing the S/S works out with the same 4 pin layout as the original loom, the set up would change from:
MOTOR | BATTERY + KEY IGN 'BATT'
PIN 1 - START (OUT M-UNUT) | PIN 2 - EARTH
PIN 3 - M-UNIT POS+ CONNECTION | PIN 4 -...
Hey guys (Sonrier)...
I'm still not 100% on this Starter Solenoid situation, hope you can help!!
For diagram / explanation help, this is the original Starter/Solenoid layout I'm working with:
MOTOR | BATTERY
PIN 1 - | PIN 2 -
PIN 3 - | PIN 4 -
The existing loom lay-out has the...
