Sadly no... Between moving, a girl on the way and cash this project has gone up on the stand for the future...

Actually didn't get them in the dip on Saturday. I'll try to get them in tomorrow at least an hour. Have you made a build thread or have any pics up?

Just giving an update... I've upended the carbs all week and have been spraying them down with PB blaster along the columns/pins then letting it soak. This has freed up three of them. I'll be resting them in a solvent tank on saturday to see if I can get the fourth to free. I'll get some after...

So what I'm getting is the floats aren't that delicate? I'll go with the solvent dip & report back. Has anyone boiled carbs up with the floats attached or used the lemon juice boil on them? I'm not sure how resistance the floats are to high temps or citric acid.

That would probably do it...but where can these things be found??

continued...

So I've got some pretty nasty carbs and I'm in the process of tearing them apart. I've gotten the bowls off and it appears the floats are stuck in place. I've hit them with carb cleaner, air, pb blaster & silicon lube. Still no luck on getting them moving. I attempted to remove the pins however...

Haha thank you meaningless entertainment...FTW...

Damn that's a sweet build! Where the hell did that rear fender come from?? My 75 just has a sub fender beneath the seat. I'll have to dig around to find my build thread. I'll get you a link soon

Re: 75 CB500T....worried sick. http://www.sohc4.net/?page_id=157 You can do it.....You can do it all night...wait... Its pretty scary on your first run. But honestly once you tear into the meat you start finding out what works and what doesn't things get a whole lot less scary. With youtube...

Brilliant! Thanks very much!

hey does anyone have a service manual for a 75 CB750F or at least the portion for the carbs?? I've got totally nasty carbs with stuck floats but I'm not 100% about whats going on in there...

Very nice looking tank. Do you have the engine on a stand or was it missing?

That's pretty awesome...you should post some pics on this thread!

Looks like the tail piece is off a 76. I like the blue on yellow though. Thinking about leaving the yellow and painting the tail end blue. I left the rough seat on the peice for now...
