Here is what I've noticed so far(keep in mind I've only spent a few minutes here and there with the bike). I have been messing with the old throttle cable to see what I can find. When placeing the cable back on the throttle opens up. This is a problem, right? Stupid question I know but I have...

After fixing up a 73 cb350g, I thought it was time to move up to the big leagues and get a 750. Man, this is going to be intense. I pick this bike up from a friend this weekend, he had trouble with the idle and was sick of messing with it. Here is the first issue I am dealing with: the bike...
