I just found this thread. I'll be buying a shirt or two through your website within a few days. And while I don't normally do anything with the bike you're talking about building, I'll be happy to kick in any parts that I have that might work.

I need to go out and look at the bike and not rely on my admittidly faulty memory... I assume you have to drain the oil before pulling the right side cover?

So is the selector under the left side engine cover that covers the wheel where the timing marks are? I assume its close to the shift lever.

Jooh-Yah, thanks for the info! I haven't had time to mess with anything yet so I will definitely try that first. That would be sweet if thats all it is.

So is there a list or line I need to get in to have it passed on to me at some point?

XB and Maritime, you guys fucking rock. Thanks for the information, and for the link XB. I've been trying to find some other threads with similar issues, and I really appreciate yall helping me out. I'll be sure to post what I find.

Good idea, Maritime. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks again!!

Awww crap, Maritime. I was afraid someone was going to tell me that, lol. But thanks for the info. Yeah, I did try rocking it and shifting it without it running and without using the clutch. It still wouldn't go into 1st or shift higher than 4th. But I will try it again just to be extra sure...

Well, I tried moving the shifter into different positions, made sure it wasn't hitting everything, and tried calling it every cuss word I know and none of that seemed to work. So I'm think I'm going to try pulling the clutch and making sure its put back in correctly. I don't remember if I said...

DAMN!!! As a noob here I didn't realize this was the secret. I've been doing this all wrong... I thought I actually had to work on my bike. Somebody send me some pronto!

So I'm curious... Where is the bell now? I'd love to put some miles on it

Here is a link I found to the full manual. http://moto-odejda.ru/file/CB750SOHCShopManual.pdf

Ok cool. I will try that tonight. Thanks for the all the information! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to do much searching and reading on here yet, so I appreciate the advice.

Maritime, thanks for the info. I had to remove the shift arm when I took the side cover off to check the timing. I just put it back on where it looked right and didn't even think about how that might have an effect on the shifting, so I may need to move it a spline or two. If that doesn't do...

Alright, here's the good and the bad. First the good... I took it for a ride around the neighborhood. Started right up and the engine ran well. No problems revving all the way up to red line. Granted I didn't get over about 40 but I was just happy to be able to ride it. Josh, somebody (I think...

My thoughts exactly on the clean carbs, lol. And thanks for the info on the exhaust, Maritime. The carb overflow lines are missing and I haven't replaced them yet so I know thats not it, but the very well could be the rest of it. Now, if it will just stop raining and dry up some I can go ride...

I got the carbs back on and she fired right up. I let it idle for a bit to warm up and then gave it some gas... And yep, it revved over 3500 for the first time. Now it's time to put it completely back together and then if it ever stops raining I'll take it out and see how it does down the street...

Thanks for the help guys! And Josh, yes that's it exactly. I'll give it another try shortly. I think part of the problem may have been that I was trying late at night so I was tired and my patience was wearing a little thin. I really appreciate the help.

When I pulled the float bowls off, the carbs looked like they were filled with jelly, lol. And some of the jets were completely clogged. I'm amazed the bike would even start and run. I got them all cleaned up and put back together and then went to put them on the bike. How the hell do you get...

Sounds like a good plan. Thanks for the info and advice!
