72 cb 750 work in progress

[blk72750]

hello all ive been to busy to post how my project is coming.
I finally got over the clubman bar issues with the throttle cables-I chucked the old ones and got some new ones from vintage cb750s, crazy they went on so easy.
Removed the front fender-It was dented pretty bad on front and near the exhaust pipes.
Cone air filters
New jets-After I cleaned the carbs then put them back on had to pull em off again.
Finally got the siezed brakes off waiting for some new pads to put them back on.
Removed the exhaust. Looking for a good deal on a 4-1.
Got a new grab bar for the back end off Ebay that I need to put on.

After all that I cant get the bike to run on its own with out having to keep hitting the throttle. Here is a video of me trying to keep the bike running.

Much respect for the guys that have been working on these old bikes and getting them to come out looking and sounding good.

Glad to hear you got the cable issue sorted out! Your bike sounds good man! Looks like your spark is leaking pretty bad.Boots probably? Once you get that sorted out it may help things out ALOT! Good deal,keep it up!

Thanks guys I got the bike running yesterday for a good 5min. This morning went into the garage to see gas leaking from the 4th carb, with the petcock off. pulled the bowl off and it was overflowing with gas. I had to adjust the float and pin looks like it worked out pretty good.

If, you do, go with Iridium! They cost more, but worth every penny!
