Thanks for the tips Luke. I did a little research and narrowed it down to the same things. Good to know I'm on the right track.

I also like the way to test if its the cable.

Good deal. I'm glad it's running better.  Finally warming up in TO?

Re the bouncing speedometer needle: Either it's the drive at the front wheel, the cable inbetween, or the speedo itself.  One way to check is to unhook the cable at the speedo end, lay the cable as flat on the floor as you can, jack it up so the front wheel is in the air, and give the wheel a spin.  If the cable is kinked or bent, it'll flop around when the inside turns.  I'm not saying that that is the problem, just another way to diagnose it.

Can't comment on the accelerator pump issue: never had a SOHC 750.  I'm confident you'll figure it out.
