My mechanic has rebuilt and sync-ed the carbs and replaced the manual tensioner. He says he’s still concerned with the engine noise.
Sounds like much of the noise is from the clutch basket. Perhaps he’s hearing something different in person than I am getting from the video.

Had been waiting on a local shop who finally delivered my bike in a less than optimal state. Looking for someone with some carb-fu to get me on the road again. Located downtown Toronto.
Having the darnedest time finding this. Out of stock everywhere I've looked.
Hoping to land something quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Located in Toronto, Canada
I haven't ridden in about 5 years and will need safety and emissions... But I can't get insured without both. Are there any mechanics in downtown that'll do a pick up/drop off?
Battery was showing a full charge as per the charger... but it was actually not holding the charge. New battery... Problem solved.
That said, I might rewire the bike to clean up the mess. Is installing a new wiring harness relatively easy to install?
I've always been nervous about the idea of digging into electrical, but the mess of wires behind my headlamp needs some tending to. I think a different year wiring harness was used when the wires were last touched, so I have wires in colors that no way match the wiring diagrams, wires that go...
The swapped high and low is curious. But I'm more concerned with the bike behaving as if the battery is dead though the meter indicated a full charge.
When I install the battery and turn the key the neutral light comes on at full brightness for a second but then quickly dims so it's barely lit...
My bike (cb750) had been working fine and I decided to clean up the wiring. Added an LED headlamp and noticed that high/low beam function was swapped. Went to start it up and the bike lit up for a second but then the neutral light in the display dimmed and became very faint as if the battery was...
Aside from my CB750 k2 charging/electrical issues in another post. All of the sudden my turn signals won't work. The bulbs test ok and I seem to get continuity at each of the bulb slots.
Got in behind the headlight to survey the wiring. A number of years ago I meticulously and methodically...
I've had to charge my battery numerous times this season. It's a new battery. Holds charge and runs great for about 3 or 4 rides. At which point I usually find myself stuck across town with an engine that won't turn over by electric start and reliant on the kick start to get the bike running...
Thanks Tim,
Yeah. The paint seems fine so it's difficult to say. I've got it off the bike now so I'll dry it out and try to track it down as you suggested.
All The Best,

So for years I've had a minor tank leak that's almost unnoticeable. Gas will gather on the bottom lip that holds the chrome moulding (left side). It's very minor but it does cause the moulding to become unglued and eventually it falls off.
I can't tell where it originates. The tank seems to be...
Hey Bert. Extremely sorry to have put you out.
This part as new old stock is, in fact, difficult to find for the '72.
At any rate, I certainly didn't mean to perturb you. Not everyone is an expert.
I hear you. Thanks. I might be able to work with my old one if I can dig it up. If I can't find it do you mind if I PM you perhaps buy yours?
Much Thanks
