Yall havnt heard from me but i have been getting a lot of info from this site for about a week now. I thank you all so much for sharing your cb750 knowledge!, I cant believe how much fun it is to work on a motorcycle. I have always wanted one and I finally got a 82 cb750f. Im stoked about it, 32,ooo miles on it... Not too bad? I have been cleanin it up real good and doin other various things but here are my couple of questions.

As you can see in the pic below (maybe) i built a manometer at home the easy way and was curious how much harder/less accurate it is to balance the carbs two at a time (1 and 2) (3 and 4) (the 2 and 3, right?) as opposed to all four at a time (little bit harder manometer to build)?

Also, before i balance carbs i made a little mistake earlier.... when checking out the carbs and cleaning them out a bit I was messin with the three adjustment screws for the throttle valves and i took them all the way out so the valves were basically shut! Is there a factory preset or something so i can set them to that (how?) and then try to balance them?

And my last question... painting the bike. I plan to paint the gas tank first, then the rear shocks, then the exhaust (if thats possible). Can anyone give any pointers on the best way to paint those things. I have zero experience with this so all help is greaty appreciated!

Thanks a lot for all your help, I already got tons of help from yall!
