Recently joined the site after picking up a 1981 CB750 Custom with 16k miles. Bike has basically been off the road since 1997. The guy I bought it from picked it up from a friend who moved cross country. He "rebuilt the carbs" and replaced the rotted out 4-into-4 with a Mac slip-on 4-into-2. Otherwise the bike is all stock. Bike started, but ran super rich (you could smell it) and only on 3 cylinders, but it was definitely something I could work with.

I never trust a carb rebuild I didn't do myself, so I ordered up a rebuild kit from Randakk and printed out SeanG's writeup. Some PineSol, ultrasonic and brake cleaner later, and the bike is running great.

There was also the usual charging system issue. Looks like someone was already in there chasing it at some point. There was a new R/R from Ricks installed and new brushes (judging from the semi-mangled brush retaining screws). Turns out it was the stator. Replaced that and it's charging like a champ.

Adjusted the valves, cam chain tension, drive chain play, etc. Rides nice.

Just got back in the saddle again this past year after a dozen years or so of no bikes. Picked up an '87 Shadow last winter, but just wasn't feeling the V-Twin vibe. Inline 4's are more in my wheelhouse.

It's nice to see these old DOHC's still have a large following here!
