Making my pops old bike run again.

[thebigHGman]

Hi all, my hole life there's been a beautiful bike sitting in my garage hat i never even got to see run. I decided that even though i have no mechanical skills, im going to make my dad's old bike run. Its a 75 cb750 i believe ( im not positive about that being the exact year). Right now the throttle won't even turn, this is a carb problem right? any tips on getting that off and cleaning it ( links would be great?)

Well it is probably a number of things depending on how long it has been sitting. The cables are probably dried up and the carbs are stuck. Most likely anyways.
Remove the cables from the carbs and then from the throttle housing. See if you can move them, if not, then you can try to lube them. You can get a cable lube clamp that goes over 1 end and has a hole for a straw to spray lube. Spray iot a couple times and let it sit and see if it moves. You may have to repeat. If it does not move, you can get new cables from honda and from motion pro. Honda cables are fairly pricy about 2x the price of motion pro which is about 12 each.

if the cables move ok(they should move with very little force), then tackle the carbs. The slides are probably stuck.

 Hello, I agree with re-run. You can find all kinds of stuff on ebay...cables can be had for cheep if you shop around. The ebay sight I look at has over 3000 parts for sale at any time. I rebuilt a cb450 last year using ebay for 97% of the parts............good luck.
