My little brother abandoned his ‘83 CB 1100 F at my house 5 years ago. He said it does t run anymore, if you can fix it, you can have it… so, I did. Ended up leaving it at my cousins for a couple years because I moved out of state, got it back, and it’s been sitting outside In The weather another couple years… I just listed it on offer up for $500.00 as a parts bike, it after watching your revival series on this 750, and knowing the history of my bike, I’m pulling it off the web, and I’m bringing her back to life. Love the sound of these bikes!!! Great vids man! Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Great bike. Is that a 75? The idle adjuster screw should be on the right side of the carb rack if the petcock is on the left side of the tank. I know different years switched the petcock to different sides of the tank. (Pre 75 had petcock on right right.) I bought an extra set of carbs for my 75 CB750 and didn't realize the idle control knob was on the left side of the carbs, which made it really hard to get to with the petcock being on that same side. Some of the 750 carbs are set u so you can move that idle switch to either side of the rack...some only have one option.

@BrickHouseBuilds

Its a 75 but possibly an early 75 with a mix of that combo as the tap and adjuster are both on the left.

Excellent video, glad to see you get this ole girl running & riding! Now, if only you had an old period correct Kerker header to use on that bike, it'd really set it off. You can't hardly break those SOHC Honda fours, they are built stout! Yes, a good running carb synch will smooth it right out. Looks like a little blue smoke out of the left hand muffler, rings may need to reseal themselves if it was seized before from sitting. I can't remember how many of these bikes I worked on when I worked at a Honda dealership in 1980-81, they always ran even if they looked kind of ratty and unkempt. I did up an 836cc kitted CB750 SOHC engine for a close friend's bike, ported the head and Vance/Hines did the valve job on it, used early carbs on it and jetted accordingly and it would darn near keep up with my then-stock CBX! He still has the bike to this day. We did do a frame mod to allow top end disassembly without pulling the whole engine out of the frame. Thanks for a great video, man! Enjoy this bike!

Loved the video, here in Sydney Australia, just wanting to know if after a period of time riding the bike freshened up the valve seals enough to reduce the smokey left cylinders? From experience it's always a worry when buying and starting a bike that hasn't run for an extended period of time the smoke dissipates in time! I have a VF1000F at the same stage!

You noticed the most smoke in this one under heavy throttle so still has some blow by and other potential seal issues but it is very much improving. Since there was corrosion on the valve sealing surfaces on the ones that were open for so long I am just running it to reseat before doing a valve adjustment. I think it will always have a touch of smoke without a rebuild but thats ok.

Yes, many bikes today still made this way. You just want to try to stay moving

Well done. Jealous. A couple notes. 1. Clutch rattle is normal. Mine did that from brand new. Only happens at idle, and is minimized if carbs are synced, but always there. Reason is that it has a primary chain driving the clutch basket from the crank. 2. Syncing the carbs, yes, but is an overhyped activity. Smooths idle but I never found it made a difference while riding. 3. Rough running might mean the carbs need more work; not just syncing issue. 4. Blow-by: There should be a fat rubber tube comes off the nipple on that triangular cast compartment at top centre of engine and runs down to where the carb drain tubes also go below the battery. There's a smaller fitting just at the top very back of the engine too. You will have a lot of blow-by seeing how engine was seized with rusty cylinder walls. 5. I suspect your tach and speedo are reading high. This is because they are not perfectly weather sealed and eventually condensation inside rusts and weakens the needles' return springs. 6. Lastly, are those tires the bike came with? Old tires on wet roads... that put me down a number of times when I was a student and too poor to buy new tires.

Thanks Rick. Yes I said most not all rattle so I am well aware there. I also note tuning the carbs so understand this is on its absolute base setup with no tweaks outside of the idle screw. Just getting it worn back in so to speak before I make further adjustments as those would be thrown off if I did them right away. On the oil tank I just need to reconfirm what its doing as I believe I also had it a small bit overfilled. Tires and many other items have been replaced or rebuilt and you can see all of that in previous videos of the bike if you wish.

@@BrickHouseBuilds One other thing, little known that not all CB750s had same alternator rotor. Some of them had extra mass at outside on the inner side as sort of a collar. This contributes a lot to flywheel effect and smooths the idle. I believe early ones had minimal flywheel and the supersports of 1977-78 also had smallest alternator rotors. So check to see which you have

Nydelig lyd i CB750 jeg har 2 stykker nå i 2022 og har hatt 4 stykker tidligere.Den ene jeg har nå er bygget om til Chopper de er nå under restaurering.Elsker alt fra Honda også biler de lager .Liker dine videoer.Olaf.

@@BrickHouseBuilds damn I would have sent you a bike I'm getting my ass kicked on.

I saw the whole sequence of this CB750 up to here; because everything you did you did with professionalism and it's nice to see when things are done right, and when you first started the motor it rattled, it seemed totally out of tune, and it reminded me of what it took to get it to turn because It was nailed down by the years of inactivity, the abandonment and also the lack of maintenance I suppose; So I said to myself: and of course the engine is not in good condition... And then you are about to carry out the test on the road and the engine no longer made those noises from the first time?! How did you achieve it?

So when I did an initial inspection I could also see some light surface rust on the valve seats and of course knew that the cylinder was going to be filled with junk. As you see the bike smoking it is actually cleaning itself up and burning out all of the old junk. As it gets clean it starts to run smoother, increase compression, and clean off the valve seats. The carbs were also not synchronized. I left all of it at a base tune to just get it running as I know it would be rough but just needed time. You will see as the playlist goes on I cover all of this.

is there no law against driving around with out an license plate ? and what about insurance ? if you did that here in Europe (Denmark) the fine would be big (most likely thousand of $)

It is not legal but I am not abusing any system by going to a parking lot to make sure the bike can physically go down the road. If I were daily riding it on main roadways it would be different. Officers have stopped me doing this and I simply explain what I am doing and they are usually very cool and supportive.

@@BrickHouseBuilds Nice I am sure they wouldn`t here in Denmark I do not know the exat fine, but my guess would be $1K for no plate and $1K for no insuance and if you did`t pay tax on it it would be hugh like the same amount as tax and tax here in Denmark is crazy 80-100% of what the bike is worth, Etc. if I buy a new bike that cost lets say $8K it would cost $14-16K with taxes (cars is even worse) Etc, new Honda cb750 hornet cost $14,250 leaving the shop.
