Re: CB750c will not turn over, update. So, did some work tonight. Finally got the side cover off. Took at little persuasion and a small chunk of my finger. Gears look good and are not worn at all. I jumped the starter motor with out the main crank shaft gear and it turns fine, so that's not my...

I have been doing a lot of work on my recently purchased, previously abused 1981 cb750c and I seem to have made something worse. I have been doing a lot of cleanup of the wiring, oil change, swapped out the pods for the stock air filter and probably a bunch more things I cant think of. Before I...

Thanks for the quick replies! Good deal, I figured they would be marked in some way but did some searching and couldn't find any info. I'll tear the carbs off there and see what it looks like. I have no concerns with getting pretty involved but based on the shear amount of posts complaining...

Long time lurker here jumping into a project. Getting ready to drop some cash on a nice looking 81 cb750c. The guy is selling it pretty cheap because it doesnt run as well as it should and is having a few electrical issues he is annoyed with. He bought it from someone that tried a super bike mod...
