OK, so I finnaly have the 750 starting better. It seems to be idling rich from the start. The air adjusting screws are only 1/4 turn out from the seats, and...
...when idling you are using the idle jets and to a much lesser extent the main jet. Technically moving the needles should not change the air/fuel mix at...
Do you have vacuume gauges to check the carbs? My 750 had that popping thing going on and I found one of the carbs had twice the vacuume as the others. A quick...
Hi! I just became a Proud owner of a 1977 Hondamatic CB750A, 26500 miles and Vetter Fairings.... It took me a while to find it, but I found one that needed...
Just to say Hi! I just bought a 1977 Hondamatic CB750A, 22k miles and are looking for local contacts in order to ride and exchange knowledge about the bikes. I...
Okay, I have two 750's that I am hoping to make into one over this coming winter. If you can believe it I want to make it into a Caf"A" racer, that ought to...
As to "Today I stuck the kick start lever on and was wondering just how does it go? What do you do with the foot peg during this kicking operation, just leave...

Hi! Does anybody have an owner's manual for the Hondamatic CB750A? Or maybe a 400? I wanto to take care of my Bike but need some guidance on where's ...
I would take a copy if you don't mind. And if you do find a cd or other media version of the bike that would be great too. I am doing a restoration of my 77...
my names jesse. i have a '78 cb400a and a '79 cm400a i bought for my wife that she wont ride anymore so i took over it as it rides smoother than my '78.anyone...
Long story short. 1978 750A basket case. Bought a few weeks ago for $300. Had the fuel tank full. Has 4900 miles on it, but the guy parked it 21 years ago. 2-1...
Jerry, Two things you need to look at. First, try putting the air box/filter back on the bike. This should improve the bogging down when you open the...
..........Im sure most older bikes got this problem, but the side stand pivot point is worn and the bike leans way over when used ( I usually use the center...
I will do as you suggest, but before I do, I may be missing something. The carb diagram I have showed the slow jets to be removable. I found that mine appear...
...you are correct, on the 77/78 carbs, the slow jets are pressed. You'll want to use a pair of plyers to grip the jets, and slowly work them back and forth...
Great Blog! Looks to be user friendly and packed full of valuable info. I went ahead and cleaned the carb, again, for the 4th time. All jets removed. All jets...
...my understanding is that solinoid on the carbs raises the idle when the bike is put in gear. Thats all I know about it...I've never owned a 750a, but have...
The wires from the solenoid go to the speedometer. It should bump the idle at 10 mph or so. Mine has never worked and I see no reason to worry about it. Try...
Hi kids. I'm rather embarassed about the situation I am about to describe but here it is... I have a '78 Hawk and last weekend decided to do a little...
